METHOD AND DEVICE FOR OPERATING A VEHICLE IN AN AUTOMATED DRIVING OPERATION

A method for operating a vehicle in an automated driving operation involves a main control device determining a driving instruction and providing it to an auxiliary control device. The driving instruction includes information about a course of a path on which the vehicle should be guided into a stopping position, which is determined by a series of path points having a spacing value assigned to each path point. The spacing value corresponds to a spacing of the path point from left or right lane markings. Spacing values are transmitted to the auxiliary control device as digital data having a limited representable value range of the spacing values. The spacing values are reduced by scaling before the transmission to the auxiliary control device, and are calculated back in the auxiliary control device after the transmission if a lane width is greater than the representable value range of the spacing values.
