Abstract
This paper presents solutions for improving the safety and comfort of automated lane change operations. [Solution] A computing device for an assist system for automated lateral control of a vehicle, - Identify free space for automated lane change operations based on surrounding data, - A suggestion signal is output to the driver 19 to provide a suggestion regarding lane change operations. -Receive attention data representing the driver's gaze direction 25 and / or head orientation, - Determine whether the driver's situational awareness, which indicates that the gaze direction 25 and / or the orientation of the head are directed towards the area allocated to the free space, exists as acceptance of the proposal. - Outputs an activation signal to automatically activate the vehicle's turn signal, and - When situational awareness is present, output a steering signal to control the vehicle's steering system to perform a lane change operation. It is composed of.
