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

A speed control system is provided for a motor vehicle, including units for calculating a drive torque or a brake torque as a function of a pre-definable target speed, the target speed being pre-defined by the single actuation of an operable control element. A sustained actuation of the control element is used to pre-define a target acceleration, instead of a target speed. The drive torque or brake torque are calculated from the target acceleration.

Speed control system and method for a motor vehicle

A method for the longitudinal control of a vehicle, in which information of a navigation system is detected and in which, as a function of the information of the navigation system, a desired value of at least one parameter for the longitudinal control is defined, during a longitudinal control operation, on the basis of a defined desired distance from a preceding vehicle by means of information of the navigation system. The probability is determined with which the preceding vehicle and/or the own vehicle is cornering when the preceding vehicle is no longer detected. A longitudinal acceleration takes place in a time-delayed manner when the probability is greater than a defined threshold.

Method for the longitudinal control of a vehicle in which information of a navigation system is detected

In a method for the longitudinal control of a vehicle, where information from a navigation system is recorded and where a target value of at least one parameter for longitudinal control is determined in dependence on the information from the navigation system, the information from the navigation system is used to determine the probability with which the vehicle will drive onto a highway entrance. When the probability is higher than a specified threshold the control unit uses a longitudinal acceleration that is increased compared to regular operation.
