Abstract
A method to assist with control of a vehicle in road traffic is provided. Parameters including a distance, direction and speed of other road users are detected. The parameters are used to determine a strategy for the driver to start an intended control action. A time window is determined that enables the driver to start the intended control action and is displayed in a graphical representation to scale to the driver through a driver-vehicle interface.
