    , 15

    ), such as, for example, the required acceleration and the required direction of travel, and a second hierarchical control module (20a, 20b) which is arranged to handle operating routines for power units (126, 33a, 33b, 34a, 34b), where said operating routines generate operating signals for said power units (126, 33a, 33b, 34a, 34b) in response to input data in the form of target value signals (22a, 22b) generated externally for said second hierarchical control module (20a, 20b), characterized in that the control system comprises in addition a third hierarchical control module (30a, 30b), in which the control signals (11
