METHOD AND DEVICE FOR ASSISTING A DRIVER DURING AN OVERTAKING PROCESS

摘要

In a method for assisting a driver of a motor vehicle (8) during an overtaking process, a distance between the motor vehicle (8) and a vehicle (9) travelling ahead is adjusted automatically to a first setpoint distance (d1), and after an intention by the driver to overtake is detected at a starting time (ts) the distance is reduced. When the intention of the driver to overtake is detected and a safety function is in a predetermined range, an increased acceleration (a') is initiated in order to reduce the distance. As a result, the driver is relieved during the execution of an overtaking process and a sequence of the overtaking process which corresponds to the normal driving style of a driver is ensured. The invention also relates to a device for carrying out the method.
