Abstract

See full text

A driving aid system is provided for assisting a motor vehicle during a change of lane. The system includes a device monitoring the lateral side space and a device monitoring the directional stability. The lateral space monitoring device is designed to determine the degree of risk (for example, two levels: dangerous/not dangerous, or three levels: low/medium/high risk) represented by a change of lane. At the high risk level, a first driving aid reaction occurs, at least in the form of a counter-steering, which is regulated by a link existing between the lateral space monitoring device and the directional stability monitoring device and is expressed by a reorientation towards the specific traffic lane or by maintaining the directional stability. At the low risk level, a second driving-aid reaction is triggered, which is less perceptible and depends on the degree of likelihood of the intention to change lane.
