Zusammenfassung:The invention concerns a system for informing the driver regarding sections of road lying ahead and being considered for a passing process. For this, the system employs, on the basis of known navigation systems, special data from digital maps in order to carry out an evaluation of ahead lying sections of road according to various criteria.
