Method for recognizing a change in lane of a vehicle
First Claim
1. A method of detecting a lane change of a subject vehicle including a locating device adapted to use an angular resolution for locating at least one vehicle traveling in front of the subject vehicle and a device for determining a yaw rate of the subject vehicle, comprising:
- measuring an angular velocity of the at least one vehicle relative to the subject vehicle using the locating device; and
comparing the angular velocity to the yaw rate of the subject vehicle to form a lane change signal indicating the lane change.

Abstract
A method of detecting a lane change of a subject vehicle (20), having a locating device (10) which uses angular resolution for locating vehicles (VEH1, VEH2, VEH3) traveling in front, and a device (44) for determining the yaw rate (ω0) of the subject vehicle. The angular velocity (ωi) of at least one vehicle traveling in front relative to the subject vehicle (20) is measured using the locating device (10), and a lane change signal (LC) indicating the lane change is formed by comparing the measured angular velocity (ωi) to the yaw rate (ω0) of the subject vehicle.
