Abstract
An acceleration signal is generated in a motor vehicle having acceleration and deceleration states. The signal generated is used in a vehicle control system. A first value, representing vehicle acceleration, is initially determined as a function of at least one value acquired by a sensor. Furthermore, a second value representing the instantaneous acceleration and deceleration state of the vehicle is determined. The magnitude of the first value determined is limited as a function of the second value determined. Then, the signal representing the vehicle acceleration is generated as a function of the limited first value.
