Technologies and techniques for carrying out an assisted lane change onto a deceleration lane, during which an intervention in an acceleration device may be carried out in an at least partially assisted manner as a function of a driver input on a driving lane of the roadway. The lane change from the driving lane onto the deceleration lane may be carried out in an at least partially assisted manner, wherein swarm data are received from at least one further motor vehicle, which carried out a lane change onto the deceleration lane at a crossing, and a change position for the lane change of the motor vehicle is determined as a function of the received crossing position. The lane change is carried out at the determined change position. Other aspects relate to a computer program product and to an assistance system.

Method for carrying out a lane change on a deceleration lane by means of an assistance system, computer program product, and assistance system

The invention relates to a method for supporting a lane changing procedure for a vehicle with a cruise control apparatus, wherein the cruise control apparatus adjusts a speed of the vehicle to a target speed, comprising the following steps: receiving environmental data on an environment of the vehicle using an input apparatus, wherein the environmental data at least comprise information on other vehicles in a target lane, determining a current traffic density and a current flow speed in the target lane based on the environmental data using an evaluation apparatus, adapting the target speed based on the determined current traffic density and the current flow speed by using the evaluation apparatus, forwarding the adapted target speed to the cruise control apparatus. The invention further relates to an associated device.

Method and device for supporting a lane changing procedure for a vehicle

The present invention relates to a method for providing a route stipulation for a route system of a vehicle, comprising the following steps:

Method for providing a route stipulation

A method for providing an automation function for a transportation vehicle, wherein environment data are detected. Based on the detected environment data, the automation function is activated and a quality measure is determined. A quality level on a multi-level scale is determined based on the quality measure, and a graphical output is generated and output. The output includes a quality display element that is formed based on the quality measure. Also disclosed is a system for providing an automation function for a transportation vehicle including a detection unit to detect environment data, an evaluation unit to activate the automation function and to determine a quality measure based on the detected environment data, and a control unit to generate a graphical output and to output the graphical output by a display unit. The output includes a quality display element formed based on the quality measure.
