Longitudinal driver assistance system in a motor vehicle
First Claim
1. A longitudinal driver assistance system in a motor vehicle configured to:
- detect upcoming relevant events which require a change in a maximum permissible top speed; and
determine, in response to a relevant event being detected, a location-dependent time, taking into account the location of the relevant event, at the reaching of which the functional unit causes a request message to be output to approve automatic adaptation of a current maximum permissible top speed to a new maximum permissible top speed; and
take into account, during the determination of the location-dependent time, a predefined minimum offer duration for the outputting of request message.

Abstract
A longitudinal driver assistance system in a motor vehicle includes a detection system for recognizing upcoming relevant events which require a change in the maximum permitted top speed, and a functional unit which, upon recognizing a relevant event, determines a location-dependent time taking into consideration the location of the relevant event. Upon achieving this, the functional unit prompts the transmission of request information for permitting an automatic adaptation of the current maximum permitted top speed to a new maximum permitted top speed. With the determining of the location-dependent time, the functional unit is also configured to take into consideration a predetermined minimum duration for the transmission of the request information.

12. A method of operating a longitudinal driver assistance system in a motor vehicle, the method comprising the acts of:
-
detecting upcoming relevant events which require a change in a maximum permissible top speed of the vehicle; determining, in response to a relevant event being detected, a location-dependent time taking into account a location of the relevant event at the reaching of which causes a request message to be output, the request message requesting approval of an automatic adaptation of a current maximum permissible top speed to a new maximum permissible top speed, wherein during the determining of the location-dependent time, a predefined minimum offer duration for the outputting of the request message is taken into account. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
