METHOD FOR DETERMINING A MAXIMUM SPEED LIMIT FOR A REVERSING VEHICLE COMBINATION
First Claim
1. A method for determining a maximum speed limit for a reversing vehicle combination (1) comprising a towing vehicle (2) and at least one towed trailer (3), comprising the following steps:
- determining a manoeuvre that is to be performed by the vehicle combination,simulating the complete manoeuvre in advance by using a control algorithm and a state space model, thereby obtaining the steering behaviour of the vehicle combination during the manoeuvre,calculating the maximum speed limit for the vehicle combination during the manoeuvre by using at least one predefined limiting condition.

Abstract
A method is provided for determining a maximum speed limit for a reversing vehicle combination that includes a towing vehicle and at least one towed trailer. The method includes determining a manoeuvre that is to be performed by the vehicle combination, simulating the complete manoeuvre in advance by using a control algorithm and a state space model, thereby obtaining the steering behaviour of the vehicle combination during the manoeuvre, and calculating the maximum speed limit for the vehicle combination during the manoeuvre by using at least one predefined limiting condition. A maximum speed limit for a reverse assistance function can be estimated in advance, which allows for a faster and more efficient reversing of the vehicle combination, and at the same time allows for an improved comfort for the driver.
