Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatuses for analyzing upcoming route incidents on a driving route of a vehicle in the automated longitudinal guidance of the vehicle are provided. A first upcoming route incident at a first incident position is detected on the driving route of the vehicle. A first speed profile of the vehicle is predicted up to the first incident position considering the first route incident in the automated longitudinal guidance of the vehicle. Based on the first speed profile, it is determined whether or not a second route incident becomes relevant to the automated longitudinal guidance of the vehicle before the first incident position is reached. The automated longitudinal guidance of the vehicle is affected on the driving route up to the first incident position at least in certain areas based on the second route incident if it is determined that the second route incident or no further route incident at all becomes relevant to the automated longitudinal guidance of the vehicle before the first incident position is reached.
