A method for assisting a user of a vehicle during automated lateral guidance of the vehicle on a road having multiple lanes is provided. The method includes receiving satellite-based position data describing a position of the vehicle; determining map-based lane tracking data describing a future desired movement of the vehicle relative to the lanes based on the satellite-based position data and high-resolution map data; receiving sensor data from at least one environment sensor of the vehicle, the sensor data describing boundaries of the lanes; determining sensor-based lane tracking data describing a future desired movement of the vehicle relative to the lanes based on the sensor data; comparing the map-based lane tracking data and the sensor-based lane tracking data; and controlling an output device for outputting a takeover request to the user based on a result of the comparison.

A lane-change assistance system for a motor vehicle performs a plurality of lane changes from the current lane to a target lane, which are required in order to follow a navigation system outputted route. The plurality of lane changes is performed in response to the lane-change assistance system ascertaining a triggering operation action by the driver, which indicates that the driver wants the lane-change assistance system to perform the plurality of lane changes.

A maneuvering aid for a vehicle has a lighting device configured to at least partially illuminate at least an underlying surface under the vehicle and/or a vehicle bodywork. A control device configured to control the lighting device in order to activate and/or deactivate same. The control device is configured to control the lighting device at least as a function of a vehicle speed and/or of a vehicle acceleration and/or of a distance of the vehicle from a roadway boundary or an obstacle in the roadway. A corresponding method, a corresponding vehicle, and a headlight assembly are described as well.

Depending on a sensor signal, a noise signal which suppresses a useful signal spectrum of the sensor signal is determined by filtering using a filter. A noise variable, which is a measure of a noise of the sensor signal, is determined depending on the noise signal. An error of the sensor signal is identified depending on the noise variable determined.

A method and a device detect a transverse inclination of a roadway on which a vehicle is traveling. The transverse inclination is detected on the basis of a transverse acceleration of the vehicle that is generated by the transverse inclination of the roadway. A transverse acceleration of the vehicle is measured with a measuring device. A transverse acceleration that is generated by driving maneuvers of the vehicle is determined by a transverse inclination observer. The transverse acceleration of the vehicle due to the transverse inclination of the roadway is subsequently determined by determining a difference between the transverse acceleration generated by the driving maneuvers and the transverse acceleration measured by the measuring device. A method and a device are also provided for compensating for the transverse inclination of the roadway on which a vehicle is traveling. A steering angle which compensates for the transverse acceleration of the vehicle that is caused by the transverse inclination of the roadway, by way of a transverse inclination compensator. The steering angle is set by taking into consideration the transverse acceleration of the vehicle caused by the transverse inclination of the roadway.
