Vehicle control system and method for operating a driving function taking into account the distance from the stop line

Abstract

A vehicle control system provides a driving function for automated longitudinal control of a vehicle. The vehicle control system is designed to determine, on the basis of surroundings data from one or more surroundings sensors of the vehicle, positional data relating to the position of a first signaling unit, which is located in front of the vehicle in the direction of travel, in relation to the position of the vehicle. The vehicle control system is also designed to determine, on the basis of map data relating to a road network traveled on by the vehicle, distance data relating to the distance between the first signaling unit and a stop line of the first signaling unit. The vehicle control system is further designed to cause automated deceleration of the vehicle at the first signaling unit on the basis of the positional data and the distance data.
