Abstract
A driving assistance apparatus for a motor vehicle for assistance with driving along narrow roadways is provided. The apparatus includes a data acquisition unit for acquiring route data while driving on a route obtained from wheel and steering angle sensors, a trajectory storage unit for recording the route data, and a triggering unit for triggering the vehicle based on the route data. The apparatus is coupled to a satellite navigation receiver for determining boundary value position data at the time of commencement and/or end of the route. A storage unit stores the boundary value position data for the route data. An approach checking unit checks whether the vehicle is approaching the commencement or end of the route based on the boundary value position data and generates a position approach signal if the motor vehicle is approaching the commencement or end of the route.
