Abstract
A method for interrupting a speed control or vehicle to vehicle ranging of a motor vehicle's control system, in which the system passes over into the standby mode with the aid of a predefined algorithm after the switching-off of the active control. A linear function for the acceleration in the case of propulsion as well as the braking case is provided as the algorithm. In an alternative embodiment using a step function having appropriately designed steps is provided. This achieves in an advantageous manner a soft transition from active control operation to the standby mode.
Claims10
A method for interrupting one of a speed control and a vehicle-to-vehicle ranging in a control system of a motor vehicle, comprising:
- interrupting, by a driver of the motor vehicle, a presently active control mode by activating a switch;
- and
- adjusting a setpoint acceleration value, by the control system, in response to the activation of the switch, according to a predefined algorithm, by which a soft transition from a control operation to a standby mode is achieved.
A method for interrupting one of a speed control and a vehicle-to-vehicle ranging in a control system of a motor vehicle, comprising:
- interrupting, by a driver of the motor vehicle, a presently active control mode by activating a switch;
- and
- adjusting a setpoint acceleration value, by the control system, in response to the activation of the switch, according to a predefined algorithm, by which a soft transition from a control operation to a standby mode is achieved;
- wherein the setpoint acceleration value is reduced in a case of propulsion, and wherein the setpoint acceleration value is increased in a case of braking.
