ABSTRACT:
In order to create a method for making available driving lane recommendations for each driving direction relating to at least one curb and interlinked with one another, as well as a system related thereto, which improve the quality of the driving instructions provided by a navigation device via optimized processing of the driving lanes on roads, in particular at intersections, it is recommended that (a) a curb (10, 11, 12; 10′, 12′, 15′) be assigned at least one lane list (20) whose elements (20.a.1.1, 20.a.1.2, 20.a.2) contain lane information on the totality of the driving lanes assigned to the curb (10, 11, 12; 10′, 12′, 15′); (b) each of the driving lanes be assigned at least one lane data list (30; 40) whose elements (30.b.1, 30.b.2; 40.b.1, 40.b.2) each contain lane data information on the particular driving lane; and (c) each follow-on driving lane succeeding the driving lane be assigned at least one follow-on lane list (50; 60; 70) whose elements (50.c.1, 50.c.2, 50.c.3, 50.c.4; 60.c.1, 60.c.2, 60. c.3, 60.c.4; 70.c.1, 70.c.2, 70.c.3, 70.c.4) each contain follow-on lane information, interlinked with the lane data information of the preceding driving lane, on the particular follow-on driving lane.
