Abstract
The disclosure relates to a method for determining a target trajectory for a motor vehicle operated in at least semi-automated fashion on a single-lane road with potential oncoming traffic by way of an assistance system. The method includes: capturing surroundings of the motor vehicle with the single-lane road and with a lateral boundary marker of the single-lane road by way of a capture device of the assistance system; receiving swarm data about a trajectory that can potentially be taken on the single-lane road; determining the target trajectory by moving the trajectory that can potentially be taken by way of an electronic computing device of the assistance system in such a way that a predefined minimum distance from the lateral boundary marker is kept by way of the target trajectory. The disclosure also relates to a computer-readable medium and to an assistance system.
