Abstract
A method for steering assistance of a motor vehicle driver of a motor vehicle in dangerous situations. The vehicle is equipped with a mechanism which influences its steering device and a vehicle environment detection mechanism. A trajectory calculation unit calculates driving cases of all drivable and stable movement trajectories on the basis of the data of the vehicle environment detection mechanism. A mechanism detects and evaluates a current steering wheel actuation with regard to the presence of a dangerous situation, wherein, when a dangerous situation is detected, the movement trajectory from the currently determined driving case is determined which corresponds to the driving maneuver that is indicated by the associated current steering wheel actuation, and the driver is assisted, by way of the mechanism which influences the steering device, in continuing the driving maneuver as a function of the determined movement trajectory.

14. A method for steering assistance of a motor vehicle driver of a motor vehicle in dangerous situations, in which method the motor vehicle is equipped with vehicle environment detection means and means which influence a steering device of the motor vehicle,
wherein a trajectory calculation unit is provided which calculates driving cases of all drivable and stable movement trajectories on the basis of data of the vehicle environment detection means, wherein means are provided for detecting and for evaluating a current steering wheel actuation with regard to the presence of a dangerous situation, wherein when a dangerous situation is detected, the movement trajectory from a currently determined driving case is determined which corresponds to a driving maneuver that is indicated by an associated current steering wheel actuation, and wherein the driver is assisted, by way of the means which influence the steering device, in continuing the driving maneuver as a function of the determined movement trajectory.
