  • Publication number: 20210197826
    Abstract: A method for coordinating a vehicle group having a number of vehicles, the vehicles of the vehicle group moving with specified setpoint distances to one another on a traffic lane and communicating wirelessly with one another via V2X communication, the specified setpoint distance being set by the respective vehicle by an adaptive cruise control system, includes: specifying the setpoint distances such that the vehicle group is permanently divided into a defined number of at least two partial vehicle groups and a guide partial vehicle group is followed by at least one following partial vehicle group, at least each following partial vehicle group being assigned its own guide vehicle, the guide vehicle of the respective following partial vehicle group leading the respective following partial vehicle group as the first vehicle; and specifying a setpoint distance for the guide vehicle of the respective following partial vehicle group.

  • Publication number: 20210197827
    Abstract: A method for coordinating a vehicle group having a number of vehicles, the vehicles moving with specified setpoint distances to one another on a traffic lane and communicating wirelessly with one another via V2X communication, the specified setpoint distance being set by the respective vehicle by an adaptive cruise control system, the setpoint distances being defined such that the vehicle group is at least temporarily divided into a number of at least two partial vehicle groups, an ingress distance being at least temporarily set between the partial vehicle groups such that, between the respective partial vehicle groups, an intermediate space forms into which at least one vehicle which is ready to cut in and which has a vehicle length can move, and a group following distance which is smaller than the ingress distance being set between the vehicles within a partial vehicle group, includes: checking an ingress criterion.

  • Patent number: 10399568
    Abstract: Automatically controlling the longitudinal dynamics of a vehicle includes ascertaining a state variable dependent on the state of at least one wheel brake, detecting overshoots and/or undershoots of a limiting value of the state variable, ascertaining information about a vehicle traveling ahead, setting at least one control of a feedback control system, and controlling the longitudinal dynamics of the vehicle as a function of the at least one control parameter. A sensing device used to ascertain the state of the at least one wheel brake, another sensing device is used to ascertain information about the vehicle traveling ahead, and an evaluating, setting and controlling unit is used to evaluate the state of the at least one wheel brake and the information about the vehicle traveling ahead for setting the at least one control parameter and for controlling the longitudinal dynamics of the vehicle as a function thereof.

  • Patent number: 10173681
    Abstract: Automatically regulating vehicle longitudinal dynamics in accordance with a preceding vehicle includes determining a first state variable dependent on vehicle acceleration, a second state variable dependent on engine drive torque, a third state variable dependent on the operating state of at least one permanent brake, and information about the preceding vehicle, and adjusting at least one regulating parameter of a regulation function and regulating the longitudinal dynamics depending on the at least one regulating parameter.
