Abstract: A cruise control device for a vehicle includes a regulator to regulate an actual speed with respect to a predefined setpoint speed, using a modular configuration including a regulator core module and at least one add-on regulator module. The core module ascertains a setpoint longitudinal force to be induced on the vehicle, based on a predefined setpoint speed and an ascertained actual speed, and to transmit the setpoint longitudinal force to the at least one add-on module. An add-on regulator module triggers actuators, e.g., drive and/or braking systems, based on the setpoint longitudinal force, e.g., for inducing the setpoint longitudinal force. Functions necessary for implementing various cruise control functions can be available centrally in the core module, whereas functions, used only in certain cruise control functions, may be in add-on regulator modules. Such modularity may reduce development effort and the need for hardware resources.

Abstract: A device for regulating the driving dynamics of a motor vehicle. A setpoint variable (?) for regulating the transverse dynamics of the vehicle is predefined and limited to a maximum value that is set in such a way that the transverse acceleration (ay) of the vehicle does not exceed a predefined threshold value (aymax). In this way, the vehicle is prevented from driving in too tight a curve radius and rolling over.
