Abstract
Method for piloting a vehicle while making a change of heading. The vehicle follows a first rectilinear portion of a route, so as to meet up with a second rectilinear portion of the route forming a predetermined angle with the first portion. The route passes through the meeting point of the two portions. The vehicle computes and follows a curved change of heading trajectory which passes through the meeting point whose turning center lies on the interior bisector of the angle formed by the two portions of the route.
