Method and vehicle communication system for determining a driving intention for a vehicle

A transportation vehicle communication system for determining a driving intention for a transportation vehicle, wherein the driving intention comprises information about a predicted driving maneuver, comprising:

• determining a position of the transportation vehicle;
• identifying a section of road based on the position of the transportation vehicle and a digital map, wherein one or more possible driving intentions are assigned to the section of road, and wherein the one or more possible driving intentions are assigned one or more triggering conditions based on one or more trigger variables;
• obtaining information about internal trigger variables for the determination of a current driving intention based on on-board sensors or actuators of the transportation vehicle;
• and
• determining the driving intention based on the section of road, the information about the internal trigger variables and the one or more triggering conditions.

A non-transitory software medium that includes instructions, which when implemented by a processor, perform a method for determining a driving intention for a transportation vehicle, wherein the driving intention comprises information about a predicted driving maneuver, the method comprising:

• determining a position of the transportation vehicle;
• identifying a section of road based on the position of the transportation vehicle and a digital map, wherein one or more possible driving intentions are assigned to the section of road, and wherein the one or more possible driving intentions are assigned one or more triggering conditions based on one or more trigger variables;
• obtaining information about internal trigger variables for the determination of a current driving intention based on on-board sensors or actuators of the transportation vehicle;
• and
• determining the driving intention based on the section of road, the information about the internal trigger variables and the one or more triggering conditions.
