Abstract
A method for controlling an acceleration rate of a vehicle includes monitoring a first current speed and a first acceleration rate of the vehicle based on the vehicle moving from a standstill. The method also includes setting an initial target acceleration rate to an adjusted target acceleration rate based on the first acceleration rate satisfying a first acceleration adjustment condition and the first current speed satisfying a second acceleration adjustment condition. The method further includes monitoring a second acceleration rate and a second current acceleration rate of the vehicle based on setting the initial target acceleration rate to the adjusted target acceleration rate. The method still further includes setting the adjusted target acceleration rate to the initial target acceleration rate based on the second acceleration rate satisfying a first target acceleration condition or the second current speed satisfying a second target acceleration condition.
