METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ADAPTING THE VELOCITY OF A VEHICLE DURING DRIVING OF THE VEHICLE ALONG A ROUTE OF TRAVEL

摘要

The present invention concerns a method for adapting the velocity of a vehicle during driving of the vehicle along a route of travel, comprising the steps of: prescribing (S1 ) velocity in the form of a velocity profile comprising retardations along the route of travel of the vehicle based on the occurrence of velocity-limiting factors along the route of travel of the vehicle. The method comprises the step of prescribing (S2) a target velocity associated with a velocity-limiting factor. The method further comprises the step of controlling (S3) the vehicle velocity so that a velocity associated with said target velocity is permitted to be higher than the target velocity by a given offset, wherein said offset is adapted so that a relatively larger offset is permitted in connection with a non-safety-critical velocity-limiting factor and a relatively smaller offset is permitted in connection with a safety-critical velocity-limiting factor. The present invention also concerns a system for adapting the velocity of a vehicle during driving of the vehicle along a route of travel. The present invention also concerns a motor vehicle. The present invention also concerns a computer program and a computer program product.
