Abstract
The proposed invention relates to methods for controlling a motor vehicle, and can be used in transportation industry. The technical problem to be solved by the proposed invention is to provide a method, a device, a system, a motor vehicle, and a computer-readable medium that do not possess the drawbacks of the prior art and thus make it possible to generate an optimized track for a motor vehicle that provides a speed profile for a portion of the route, ensuring preferable energy and resource consumption, and time spent by the motor vehicle to pass the portion of the route, as well as minimizing the risk of not passing the portion of the route.
