Zusammenfassung:A method maneuvers vehicles in clusters. The method forms a first main cluster, the first main cluster having at least two 1st-order sub-clusters that each have at least one cluster vehicle, and having a first cluster formation with a predefined cluster length. The method determines a first leading vehicle for the first main cluster from the cluster vehicles; and maneuvers the first main cluster. The cluster vehicles of the first main cluster orient themselves to the first leading vehicle. The first cluster formation is maintained for the first main cluster for as long as the maximum length of the first main cluster remains less than or equal to the sum of the predefined cluster length and a tolerance length.
