LANE-CHANGE ASSISTANCE SYSTEM AND LANE-CHANGE ASSISTANCE METHOD FOR THE AUTOMATED PERFORMANCE OF MULTIPLE LANE CHANGES

摘要

The invention relates to a lane-change assistance system for a motor vehicle for the automated performance of a lane change with at least automated lateral guidance. The assistance system is designed to determine, on the basis of information from a navigation system for navigation, that a plurality of lane changes from the current lane to a target lane are required in order to follow the navigation. The driver assistance system is also designed to inform the driver of a need to change lanes. By means of a triggering operation action by the driver, the driver can indicate the driver wants to perform the required number of lane changes in order to follow the active navigation. The driver assistance system checks if such a triggering operation action by the driver for triggering the required plurality of lane changes exists. If it is determined that the triggering operation action by the driver exists, the required plurality of lane changes from the current lane to a target lane are performed in an automated manner by means of the lane-change assistance system with at least automated lateral guidance.
