  • Method and Device for the Transition Between Different Specifications in the Guidance of a Vehicle
    Publication number: 20260077779
    Abstract: A device that controls the longitudinal and/or lateral guidance of a vehicle by different units is described. The device is configured to determine a first setpoint torque predetermined by a first unit as a specification for a longitudinal and/or lateral guidance actuator of the vehicle, and to determine a second setpoint torque predetermined by a second unit as a specification for the longitudinal and/or lateral guidance actuator of the vehicle. The device determines a resulting setpoint torque for actuating the longitudinal and/or lateral guidance actuator based on the first setpoint torque, the second setpoint torque, and a changeover function for the changeover between the first setpoint torque and the second setpoint torque.
