METHOD AND DEVICE FOR ASSISTING AUTOMATED DRIVING OF A VEHICLE IN CASE OF SUBDIVISION IN PARTS OR FUSION OF PARTS OF THE CIRCULATION PATH

摘要

A method is provided to assist the driver of a vehicle (VA) that can be driven in an automated manner on a taxiway (VC) defined by first (d1) and second (d2) boundaries. This method comprises a step in which in case of detection of a next subdivision of the taxiway (VC) in at least two parts (P1-P2), the vehicle (VA) is automatically driven in an absolute mode consisting of to make it follow a path located at a selected distance (dc) from one of the first (d1) and second (d2) delimitations, then, when the vehicle (VA) is placed on one of the parts (P1-P2 ), it is conducted in an automated manner in a relative mode of following a path relative to the width of the traffic lane, with respect to a median line (Im) equidistant from the first (d1) and second (d2) boundaries.
