Abstract:
1. A method for warning a driver of a vehicle, comprising: determining a position of the vehicle on a roadway; obtaining data relating to the course of a curved roadway in an area ahead of the vehicle with regard to the determined position; obtaining data relating to a self-motion of the vehicle using a driving dynamics sensor; dividing the curved roadway in the area ahead of the vehicle into at least two zones of criticality for each curve as a function of the data relating to the course of the curved roadway and the data relating to the self-motion; assigning an assessment to each of the zones of criticality commensurate with a driving behavior of the vehicle in the zones of criticality; modifying the assessment in response to information received from another vehicle positioned in a region of the curved roadway relating to a characteristic of the curved roadway using car-to-car-communication of a car-to-car-communication system; and outputting the assessment of each zone of criticality to the driver of the vehicle.
