Abstract:
1. A method for assisting the driver of a vehicle ( 10 ) when performing a driving maneuver formed by a parking or shunting maneuver, a reference trajectory ( 16 ) corresponding to the driving maneuver being determined, along which the vehicle ( 10 ) is to be moved, and the steering wheel position to be set in each case and controlling the vehicle ( 10 ) along the reference trajectory ( 16 ) being indicated to the driver during the driving maneuver, the vehicle longitudinal speed (v) being influenced independently of the driver in the event of a steering angle deviation (d LW ) between the actual steering angle (δ act ) actually set by the driver and the desired steering angle (δ des ) corresponding to the requested steering wheel position, characterized in that the vehicle longitudinal speed is influenced on the basis of the magnitude of the steering angle deviation (d LW ) in such a way that a greater vehicle retardation is carried out, the greater the magnitude of the steering angle deviation (d LW ) is.
