METHOD FOR DETERMINING A SPEED TO BE REACHED FOR A FIRST VEHICLE PRECEDED BY A SECOND VEHICLE, ESPECIALLY FOR AN AUTONOMOUS VEHICLE

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for determining an optimum speed to be achieved for a first vehicle preceded by a second vehicle. For this method, the position, the speed and the acceleration of the second vehicle are measured (MES) to determine its trajectory (POS), and a dynamic model (MOD) of the first vehicle is constructed. Then, the speed to be achieved (VIT) is determined by minimizing (MIN) the energy consumed by the vehicle by means of the dynamic model (MIN), the minimization being constrained by the trajectory (POS) of the second vehicle.
