Method for transmitting, method for processing assistance request and corresponding device

Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for transmitting information between vehicles of a vehicle platoon during a lane change for circumventing an obstacle. A first vehicle of the vehicle platoonchecks, in response to an identification of the obstacle, whether an evasive maneuver of the first vehicle into an alternative lane is possible. If the check yields that the evasive maneuver of the first vehicle is not possible, an assistance request is output to a communication interface for communication with at least one second vehicle of the vehicle platoon to prompt the second vehicle to conduct an evasive maneuver into the alternative lane. The present invention further relates to a method used for processing an assistance request output when a first vehicle in the vehicle platoon changes the lane by at least one second vehicle of the vehicle platoon, a corresponding device and a computer program.

Description

technical field

[0001] The invention relates to a method for transmitting information between vehicles of a fleet and a method for processing an assistance request (Unterstützungsanfrage) output by a first vehicle of the fleet when a lane change is performed by at least one second vehicle of the fleet Method and a corresponding device. The invention also relates to a computer program. Background technique

[0002] In so-called platooning situations, a plurality of vehicles are driven electrically coupled at very short intervals one after the other in order to profitably benefit from wind protection. The challenge here is to navigate around obstacles while taking into account disturbances caused by other road users. Contents of the invention

[0003] Against this background, with the aid of the solution presented here, a method and a device for transmitting information between vehicles in a convoy when changing lanes to avoid obstacles, a method for passing through at lea...
