Abstract
A method for controlling a vehicle travelling along a route is provided. The method includes obtaining a first value of a balance parameter, indicative of a balance between a cost for operating the vehicle along at least a part of the route, and a time of arrival at a position along the route, establishing, in dependence on the first balance parameter value, a plurality of desired position and time correlations for the travel of the vehicle along at least a part of the route, when the vehicle travels along the route, determining a progress deviation comprising a deviation, for a point in time, of an actual position of the vehicle from a desired position according to the desired position and time correlations, or a deviation, for a position of the vehicle, of an actual point in time from a desired point in time according to the desired position and time correlations, when the vehicle travels along the route, obtaining a second balance parameter value, different from the first balance parameter value, the second balance parameter value being dependent on the progress deviation, and controlling the vehicle in dependence on the second balance parameter value.
