Abstract
A method for automated guidance of a vehicle along a specified setpoint trajectory at an actual speed, wherein the setpoint trajectory includes geometric trajectory variables, the method including ascertaining an actual deviation of the vehicle from the setpoint trajectory and outputting the ascertained actual deviation and generating manipulated variables such that the vehicle, in the case of automated control of a drive system and/or a braking system and/or a steering system of the vehicle, moves closer to the setpoint trajectory. The method also includes ascertaining whether an undesirable driving state is present when the vehicle moves closer to the setpoint trajectory, wherein the undesirable driving state is ascertained from the specified setpoint trajectory based on the geometric trajectory variable, and, if the presence of the undesirable driving state is identified, automatically controlling the vehicle based on generated stability variables and/or adapting the setpoint trajectory.
