Lane changing assistant for motor vehicles
First Claim
1. A lane changing assistant for a motor vehicle, comprising:
- a speed control system;
a surroundings sensor system for recording a traffic environment including traffic in an adjacent lane;
a decision device for deciding whether a lane changing request of a driver is to be accepted;
a command device for issuing an acceleration command to the speed control system in the case of the lane changing request; and
a recognition device for recognizing a window for moving into the adjacent lane without danger, based on data of the surroundings sensor system, wherein the command device computes an acceleration strategy adjusted to the window, including a point in time for beginning of an acceleration;
wherein, in response to an issuance of an acceleration command, the command device transmits a lane changing signal to the driver in the form of a perceptible initial acceleration.

Abstract
A lane changing assistant for motor vehicles, having a speed control system and a surroundings sensor system for recording the traffic environment including the traffic in an adjacent lane, having a decision device for deciding whether a lane changing request of the driver is to be accepted, and having a command device for issuing an acceleration command to the speed control system in the case of a lane changing request, wherein a recognition device is developed to recognize a window for swinging into the adjacent lane without danger, in the light of the data of the surroundings sensor system; and the command device is developed to compute an acceleration strategy adjusted to the window, including a point in time for the beginning of the acceleration.
