Abstract
A method for adapting a predefined reference line for a transportation vehicle, a device, and a transportation vehicle. A predefined reference line is received by a control unit. A distance value of a maximum lateral distance from the predefined reference line is received by the control unit from an input device and a permissible area is specified that extends along the reference line and the lateral boundary of which is the maximum distance from the reference line that is specified by the distance value. A driving path optimized for a minimum driving time is calculated by a specified first mathematical optimization method starting from the current transportation vehicle position. The first mathematical optimization method has at least one boundary condition that requires a course of the driving path within the permissible area. The distance value is specified by a user input by the input device.
