Abstract: A method for supporting a driver of a vehicle in travelling a predetermined route in traffic, including receiving route data describing the predetermined route. The method further includes determining a curve progression that describes a curvature of the predetermined route. The method further includes determining a first route section based on the curve progression, wherein the first route section describes a section of the predetermined route. Additionally, the method includes outputting route section data which describes the section of the predetermined route based on the first route section. In addition, additionally predefined perceptibility data can be received, which describes the driver's perception of the driving dynamics when travelling the section of the predetermined route. Within the scope of the method, the determining of the first route section can take place based on the perceptibility data and also taking into consideration a change in the curve progression.

Abstract: A method for supporting a driver of a vehicle in travelling a predetermined route in traffic, including a receiving of route data which describes at least one upcoming curve of the predetermined route to be travelled by the vehicle by a curve radius. The method also includes determining a curve threshold speed and/or a lateral acceleration threshold, wherein the curve threshold speed or the lateral acceleration threshold describes a maximum curve speed or a maximum lateral acceleration according to the curve radius. Application characteristic curve data is used to determine the curve threshold speed and/or the lateral acceleration threshold, wherein the application characteristic curve data describes a driving-style-specific relationship between a lateral acceleration and a vehicle speed.

Abstract: A speed control system is provided for a motor vehicle, including units for calculating a drive torque or a brake torque as a function of a pre-definable target speed, the target speed being pre-defined by the single actuation of an operable control element. A sustained actuation of the control element is used to pre-define a target acceleration, instead of a target speed. The drive torque or brake torque are calculated from the target acceleration.

Abstract: A method for the longitudinal control of a vehicle, in which information of a navigation system is detected and in which, as a function of the information of the navigation system, a desired value of at least one parameter for the longitudinal control is defined, during a longitudinal control operation, on the basis of a defined desired distance from a preceding vehicle by means of information of the navigation system. The probability is determined with which the preceding vehicle and/or the own vehicle is cornering when the preceding vehicle is no longer detected. A longitudinal acceleration takes place in a time-delayed manner when the probability is greater than a defined threshold.

Abstract: In a method for the longitudinal control of a vehicle, where information from a navigation system is recorded and where a target value of at least one parameter for longitudinal control is determined in dependence on the information from the navigation system, the information from the navigation system is used to determine the probability with which the vehicle will drive onto a highway entrance. When the probability is higher than a specified threshold the control unit uses a longitudinal acceleration that is increased compared to regular operation.
