Abstract
A distance regulating system is disclosed for the automatic adjusting of a distance of a motor vehicle to a motor vehicle travelling ahead. At least one sensor detects the distance to the motor vehicle travelling ahead. A route detector detects a route section lying ahead. A control unit is equipped in order to transmit acceleration commands to a drive of the motor vehicle, to accelerate with a preset acceleration upon increasing distance to the motor vehicle travelling ahead or during open straight-ahead travel. The control unit can determine a. transverse acceleration to be expected and adjust a longitudinal acceleration as a function of the transverse acceleration to be expected when a curve lying ahead is detected by the route detection.

10. A distance regulating system for the automatic adjusting of a distance of an own vehicle to another vehicle travelling ahead of the own vehicle, the distance regulating system comprising:
-
at least one sensor for detecting the distance to the other motor vehicle travelling ahead; a route detection system for determining a route section lying ahead of the own vehicle; and a control unit configured to communicate an acceleration command to a drive of the own vehicle; wherein the acceleration command is communicated to the drive based on a preset acceleration for accelerating the own vehicle with a preset acceleration when the distance to the other vehicle is greater than a set distance and the route section is straight-ahead; and wherein a transverse acceleration is determined when the route section includes a curve lying ahead and the acceleration command is communicated to the drive based on the longitudinal acceleration as a function of the transverse acceleration. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A computer program product with a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having commands embedded therein which when executed by a control unit comprises:
-
a distance regulating system for communicating acceleration commands transmittable to a drive of a motor vehicle; wherein the acceleration command is communicated to the drive based on a preset acceleration for accelerating the own vehicle with a preset acceleration when the distance to the other vehicle is greater than a set distance and the route section is straight-ahead; and wherein a transverse acceleration is determined when the route section includes a curve lying ahead and the acceleration command is communicated to the drive based on the longitudinal acceleration as a function of the transverse acceleration. - View Dependent Claims (18)
