Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a vehicle control system () comprising a control unit arrangement () and at least one sensor arrangement () in an ego vehicle (). The sensor arrangement () is adapted to provide sensor information for one preceding target vehicle () and surrounding target vehicles () separate from the preceding target vehicle (). The control unit arrangement () is adapted to control an ego vehicle speed (v) in dependence of the sensor information associated with the preceding target vehicle () such that an ego distance (r) between the ego vehicle () and the preceding target vehicle () is obtained. A time gap (ΔT) is defined as the time for travelling the ego distance (r) at the ego vehicle speed (vi), The control unit arrangement () is adapted to control the ego vehicle speed (V) in dependence of the sensor information associated with the surrounding target vehicles () such that a present time gap (ΔT) is maintained in dependence of the number of detected surrounding target vehicles ().
