  • METHOD FOR OPERATING AN ADAPTIVE SPEED CONTROLLER
    Publication number: 20260225593
    Abstract: Described is a method for operating an adaptive speed controller of an ego-vehicle. The method includes selecting a first vehicle travelling ahead as a target vehicle and controlling a distance between the target vehicle and the ego-vehicle. A second vehicle travelling ahead in a lane section in front of the target vehicle is identified, and a speed difference between the second vehicle travelling ahead and the target vehicle is determined. The speed difference is compared with a speed threshold value, and a distance between the second vehicle travelling ahead and the target vehicle is determined. The distance is compared with a distance threshold value, and an acceleration of the ego-vehicle is limited according to the comparisons.
