Setting vehicle speed to desired speed involves driving brake units or not driving brake units according to operating state normal deceleration or Resume-Delay/Suspend-Delay

摘要

The method involves setting the speed by driving brake units in at least a first operating state (normal deceleration) in which the longitudinal speed exceeds the desired speed to a predetermined extent and without driving the brake units in at least a second state (Resume-Delay, Suspend-Delay) in which the longitudinal speed exceeds the desired speed to a predetermined extent. Independent claims are also included for the following: an arrangement for regulating the longitudinal speed of a vehicle and its distance from a preceding vehicle.
