Abstract
A method and device for longitudinal control of a vehicle as a function of a target trajectory, which specifies a series of target positions to be assumed by the vehicle over time. A controller actuating acceleration for trajectory control is determined based on an actual state of the vehicle. When the vehicle is following the target trajectory, a curvature of the target trajectory at a current position of the vehicle is determined from a local course of the target trajectory. Furthermore, when the vehicle is following the target trajectory, a longitudinal acceleration resulting from the target trajectory is determined as the current trajectory acceleration at the current position of the vehicle and the controller actuating acceleration is limited to a value that corresponds at most to a sum of the current trajectory acceleration and the acceleration offset. The vehicle is accelerated in accordance with the limited controller actuating acceleration.
