A method of detecting a lane change of a subject vehicle (20), having a
locating device (10) which uses angular resolution for locating vehicles
(VEH1, VEH2, VEH3) traveling in front, and a device (44)
for determining the yaw rate (0) of the subject vehicle. The
angular velocity (i) of at least one vehicle traveling in front
relative to the subject vehicle (20) is measured using the locating device
(10), and a lane change signal (LC) indicating the lane change is formed
by comparing the measured angular velocity (i) to the yaw rate
(0) of the subject vehicle.
