Abstract: A method and arrangement for controlling the longitudinal velocity of a motor vehicle is provided with a continuous determination of the vehicle position and controlling of the longitudinal velocity while defining a desired velocity defining value and/or velocity defining limit value as a function of the determined vehicle position. By using corresponding velocity defining devices, velocity data are detected by way of the actual value and/or a set desired value and/or a set limit value of the longitudinal vehicle velocity as a function of the vehicle position. The desired velocity defining value and/or velocity defining limit value is determined from the velocity data detected for the respective vehicle position during one or several preceding drives. The detected velocity data themselves and/or the desired defining value data or defining limit value data are stored in a retrievable manner.

Abstract: A process is provided for determining a travel-situation-dependent steering angle, in which a specification of a characteristic value for the transverse motion of the vehicle is given, the actual value of the yaw angular velocity of the vehicle is evaluated, and a criterion is derived as a function of the actual value of the yaw angular velocity as well as the predetermined characteristic value. As a function of the criterion, an influencing of the travel behavior of the vehicle takes place by an intervention in the vehicle steering. For the derivation of the criterion, additionally the side slip angle, the steering angle and the vehicle velocity are evaluated, and, for the derivation of the criterion, the lateral forces at the vehicle wheels are taken into consideration.
