Method for coordinating distances within a vehicle convoy

A method for coordinating at least one distance between at least two autonomous or semi-autonomous vehicles in a group of vehicles, comprising:

• registering at least one on-ramp and/or exit ramp of a road traveled by the at least two vehicles in an area ahead of the group of vehicles;
• ascertaining a situation-dependent optimal distance for passing the on-ramp and/or exit ramp between the at least two vehicles;
• adapting a distance between the at least two vehicles until the situation-dependent optimal distance between the at least two vehicles is reached before the on-ramp and/or the exit ramp is reached;
• passing the on-ramp and/or the exit ramp with the ascertained situation-dependent optimal distance between the at least two vehicles;
• re-ascertaining a situation-dependent optimal distance between the at least two vehicles for a segment after having passed the on-ramp and/or exit ramp;
• and
• re-adapting the distance between the at least two vehicles until the re-ascertained situation-dependent optimal distance between the at least two vehicles is reached after the on-ramp and/or the exit ramp has been passed.
