Method and device for displaying lane information in a vehicle

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for displaying lane information in a vehicle. In the method, the present position of the vehicle on a route is captured. A number of existing traffic lanes at the present position in the direction of travel of the vehicle on the route is determined. Furthermore, the lane course of the existing traffic lanes that lies ahead of the vehicle in the direction of travel of the vehicle is determined, wherein a first traffic lane is determined from the lane course, which is a target traffic lane for the vehicle. In a first display region, a first display is generated, which shows a schematic illustration of the existing traffic lanes at the present position of the vehicle, which schematic illustration comprises schematic traffic lanes, wherein the number of the schematic traffic lanes corresponds to the number of the existing traffic lanes, such that an existing traffic lane is assigned a schematic traffic lane in each case. Moreover, for at least one first schematic traffic lane, a graphic object is generated which indicates whether the traffic lane assigned to the first schematic traffic lane is the target traffic lane, A first change position on the route is determined, as of which a second and no longer the first traffic lane is the target traffic lane for the vehicle and a second display is generated in a second display region, which shows a schematic illustration of the existing traffic lanes at the first change position on the route.
