Determining a driving strategy for a vehicle

摘要

A method and driver assistance system for determining a longitudinal dynamics driving strategy for a vehicle based on a driving condition specification, includes a processor selecting a driving strategy in consideration of the power consumption and in consideration of a detection, by a rear traffic detection unit, of a following vehicle.

1. A method for determining a driving strategy for a vehicle, comprising:
obtaining, by at least one computer processor, a driving condition specification; detecting, by the at least one computer processor, whether a following vehicle is present, wherein the following vehicle is at least partially behind the vehicle; and selecting, by the at least one processor and from a plurality of candidate driving strategies, a driving strategy for achieving the specified driving condition based on (a) a power consumption analysis and (b) the detection; wherein: the plurality of candidate driving strategies includes a first driving strategy and a second driving strategy that is more power-saving than the first driving strategy; the at least one processor is configured to select the second strategy responsive to presence of a relevant following vehicle not being detected, and to select the first strategy responsive to detection of the presence of the relevant following vehicle.
