Abstract
The disclosure relates to an apparatus configured to reduce a speed of a motor vehicle to a predetermined value at a predetermined position. The apparatus includes a position-capture device configured to establish the predetermined position by evaluating map data relating to a planned route of the motor vehicle, and a target-setting device for establishing the predetermined value at the predetermined position.
Claims18
A vehicle speed reducing apparatus comprising:
- a position-capture device configured to establish a predetermined position based on map data related to a planned route, and
- a target-setting device configured to establish a predetermined value at the predetermined position.
A vehicle comprising:
- a speed control unit configured to, in response to input indicative of a predetermined position based on an evaluation of raw map data from an identifying and classifying device, map data related to a planned route, and sensor data indicative of obstacles along the planned route, establish a predetermined value, attained via a speed profile and correcting variable generated by a speed-regulating device, at the predetermined position.
A vehicle speed control system comprising:
- a position-capture device configured to establish a predetermined position based on an evaluation of raw map data from an identifying and classifying device, map data related to a planned route, and sensor data indicative of obstacles along the planned route;
- and
- a target-setting device configured to establish a predetermined value, attained via a speed profile and correcting variable generated by a speed-regulating device, at the predetermined position.
