Abstract
An acceleration management system for operating an automated vehicle includes a navigation-device, an object-detector, and a controller. The navigation-device is used to determine a travel-path of a host-vehicle. The object-detector is used to determine when an other-vehicle will intersect the travel-path of the host-vehicle. The controller is in communication with the object-detector and the navigation-device. The controller is configured to select an acceleration-profile for the host-vehicle that avoids interference with the other-vehicle, and operate the host-vehicle in accordance with the acceleration-profile.
