MODULE AND A METHOD PERTAINING TO MODE CHOICE WHEN DETERMING VEHICLE SPEED SET-POINT VALUES
First Claim
1. A module for determining speed set-point values Vref for a vehicle'"'"'s control system, the module comprising:
- a mode choice unit for setting a driving mode selectable from at least two driving modes each comprising a unique set of settings which affect the calculation of Vref;
a horizon unit configured to determine a horizon from location data received and map data for an itinerary made up of route segments and at least one characteristic for each segment;
a processor unit configured to calculate Vref for the vehicle'"'"'s control system along the horizon on the basis of settings for chosen driving modes and rules pertaining to categories in which segments within the horizon have been placed, so that Vref is within a range bounded by Vmin and Vmax, wherein the vehicle'"'"'s control system regulates the vehicle according to set-point values Vref.

Abstract
A module for determining speed set-point values Vref for a vehicle'"'"'s control system that includes a mode choice unit for setting of a driving mode from among at least two selectable driving modes each comprising a unique set of settings which affect the calculation of Vref; a horizon unit adapted to determining a horizon from location data received and map data for an itinerary made up of route segments and at least one characteristic for each segment; and a processor unit adapted to calculating Vref for the vehicle'"'"'s control system along the horizon on the basis of settings for chosen driving modes and rules pertaining to categories in which segments within the horizon have been placed, so that Vref is within a range bounded by Vmin and Vmax.

14. A method for determining speed set-point values Vref for a vehicle'"'"'s control system, comprising:
-
receiving a mode choice from among at least two selectable driving modes each of which comprises a unique set of settings which affect the calculation of Vref; determining a horizon from location data received and map data for an itinerary made up of route segments and at least one characteristic for each segment; calculating Vref for the vehicle'"'"'s control system along the horizon on the basis of settings for chosen driving modes and rules pertaining to categories in which segments within the horizon have been placed, so that Vref is within a range bounded by Vmin and Vmax, wherein the vehicle'"'"'s control system regulates the vehicle according to these set-point values Vref. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28)
