System and method for automatically longitudinally guiding a motor vehicle to a standstill

A system for automated longitudinal guidance of a motor vehicle, said system enabling said motor vehicle to be automatically braked to a standstill on the basis of an identified infrastructure component that requires braking of the motor vehicle to a standstill, comprising:

• a sensor unit that identifies an infrastructure component that requires braking of the motor vehicle to a standstill;
• a first determination unit which, upon identification of the infrastructure component, determines a standstill position on the basis of currently available information about the infrastructure component from the sensor unit;
• a second determination unit which, should the infrastructure component no longer be identified by the sensor unit, determines an adapted standstill position on the basis of the determined standstill position when the infrastructure component was still identified and a determined error value;
• and
• a control unit which, upon identification of an infrastructure component, initiates automated braking to a standstill at the determined standstill position and which, should the infrastructure component no longer be identified, initiates braking to a standstill at the determined adapted standstill position.
