A device for a traffic flow assistant for a vehicle includes a surroundings sensor system, which recognizes traffic-relevant objects on a traffic lane, on which the vehicle is traveling, and on at least one further adjacent lane, gaps in the traffic are recognized with the aid of the surroundings sensor system and vehicle-dynamic parameters of the objects are determined and future gaps in the flow of traffic are able to be predicted therefrom. For these recognized gaps and predicted gaps, lane change options are ascertained and, from this and the present and/or predicted presence of gaps in the traffic suitable for changing lanes and the vehicle-dynamic state of the vehicle, a signal for the lane selection is generated, which is dependent on the lane change options and an optimization strategy.
