Abstract
A vehicle control system provides a driving function for the automated longitudinal control of a vehicle. The vehicle control system is configured to detect, based on environmental data, a first signaling unit that lies ahead of the vehicle in the direction of travel on a roadway on which the vehicle travels. The vehicle control system is additionally configured to ascertain distance information related to a distance in time and/or in units of the vehicle from the first signaling unit. The vehicle control system is also configured to initiate or prevent, according to the distance-related information, the output of information related to the first signaling unit.
