Traction Assistant to optimize traffic flow (Traffic Flow Assistant)

摘要

The invention relates to a device and a method for a traffic flow assistant for a vehicle, comprising an environment sensor system which detects traffic-relevant objects in a lane in which the vehicle is traveling and in at least one other adjacent lane, gaps in traffic being detected by means of the environment sensor system and driving dynamics Parameters of the objects to be determined and future gaps in traffic can be predicted from this. For these identified gaps and predicted gaps, a lane change possibility is determined and from this and the current and / or predicted presence of gaps in the traffic suitable for lane change and the driving dynamics state of the vehicle, a signal for lane selection is generated which is based on the possibilities for Lane change and an optimization strategy is dependent.
