DRIVER ASSISTANCE SYSTEM IN A MOTOR VEHICLE

摘要

The invention relates to a driver assistance system in a motor vehicle, said system comprising a detection system for detecting upcoming events which permit an increase in current speed as a result of the lifting of a restriction on a currently valid speed, a functional unit for determining an acceleration strategy for increasing the speed, and an information system for issuing request information to the driver to allow automatic implementation of the acceleration strategy, the functional unit initiating the automatic implementation of the acceleration strategy upon confirmation by the driver of the request information. According to the invention, the request information can be issued to the driver already at a defined point in time before the upcoming event that lifts the restriction on the current speed. If the driver confirms the request information before the upcoming event that lifts the restriction on the current speed has been reached, the functional unit initiates an acceleration strategy that is composed of two-stages.
