METHOD FOR PROJECTING A GUIDE LINE ONTO A ROAD SURFACE

A method is provided for projecting a guide line onto a road surface. An anticipated trajectory of the motor vehicle is calculated from the speed and steering angle of the motor vehicle. A guide line is projected onto a road surface in front of the motor vehicle. The guide line indicates the anticipated travel path. Whether the motor vehicle is starting a curve is detected based on the steering angle. The guide line contains the shape of a first clothoid in at least a first segment when it is detected that the motor vehicle is starting to travel in a curve.
