Abstract
A method for speed control of a ground-based vehicle, a computer-implemented method for speed control of a ground-based vehicle, and a control device for speed control of a ground-based vehicle. A speed planner is provided and includes a macro-planner for rapid forward-backward speed planning and a meso-planner for optimizing driving time and energy consumption using an optimization solver. A distance planner is provided and includes a micro-planner for distance control of distance to a vehicle driving ahead. A speed setpoint value is initially calculated by the macro-planner or the meso-planner, the speed setpoint value then optimized by the micro-planner to generate a final speed setpoint value. The ground-based vehicle is then controlled by operating it using the final speed setpoint value.
