A method and device for controlled damping of a vehicle stores a set of controller parameters Rto Rn for controlling the damping of the unloaded vehicle as a function of the dynamic driving situation thereofto n, detect a loading condition b of the vehicle, adapt the set of controller parameters Rto Rn as a function of the detected loading condition b to a set of controlled parameters Rto Rnb, and dams the vehicle as a function of the set of controller parameters Rto Rnb as a function of the dynamic driving situation thereonto n.

Device and method for controlled damping of a vehicle

The invention relates to a method for controlling speed and/or distance in motor vehicles having distance-related longitudinal control systems, wherein during clear driving, a clear drive acceleration value is set to reach a preset speed, and while following a detected target object, a following acceleration value is set to maintain a preset distance from the target object, and wherein if the target object is lost during a following drive operation, a transition acceleration value is set. According to the invention, the transition acceleration value is set for the duration of a time interval, which is dependent on the speed at the time of the target object loss.

Method for controlling speed and/or distance in motor vehicles

The invention relates to a method for determining the vehicle speed of a motor vehicle, wherein a provisional first speed value is determined for high speeds and a provisional second speed value is determined for low speeds and the vehicle speed is determined as a function of the determined provisional first speed value either from the provisional first speed value or from the provisional second speed value, or from a combination of the first and second speed values.

Method for determining the speed of a motor vehicle

A device for controlling the brake lights in a motor vehicle having a brake system, designed to be operated by outside forces, is described. The device includes a control device for actuating the brakes of the vehicle in such a manner that an automatic braking operation can be carried out as a function of the vehicle operating conditions, and at least one brake lamp which can be actuated by the control device or by a separate control unit. The control device or the control unit may be designed in such a manner that during an automatic braking operation, the brake lamp is switched on below a predefined boundary speed, as a function of a braking pressure determined in the activated brake of the vehicle, or as a function of a parameter correlating to the braking pressure.
