A method, an apparatus, and a computer-readable storage medium with instructions for motion planning for a transportation vehicle wherein motion candidates are determined based on an action and state gridding. This involves applying at least one measure for optimizing the motion candidates. Final states of motions of the transportation vehicle corresponding to the movement candidates are determined in a discretized state space and a motion for the transportation vehicle is selected.

Method, device, and computer readable storage medium with instructions for motion planning for a transportation vehicle

A method in a transportation vehicle for an automatic drive which includes detecting additional transportation vehicles in the surroundings of the transportation vehicle by at least one sensor system, detecting and identifying lanes by the at least one sensor system, assigning the detected additional transportation vehicles to the detected lanes by a controller, and identifying and evaluating an intention to pass of another transportation vehicle by a pass assistance device. If an intention to pass has been identified, the method also includes calculating a total use of a possible lane change by a predictive device and adapting a drive behavior of the transportation vehicle by the controller, wherein the possible lane change is carried out if the calculated total use reaches or exceeds a specified total use threshold, and the possible lane change is not carried out if the calculated total use does not exceed the specified total use threshold.

Method and device in a motor vehicle for an automatic drive

A method and device for the automated driving of a motorized transportation vehicle having at least one camera and an evaluation unit for evaluating the data captured by the camera, wherein lane markings are captured by the camera and the evaluation unit determines traffic lanes from the captured data of the camera, wherein the evaluation unit observes changes in the lane markings which will cause a new traffic lane to be determined over a predefined distance, wherein the new traffic lane is adopted only in response to the changed lane marking being captured over the predefined distance.
