APPARATUS FOR LONGITUDINAL CONTROL OF A TRUCK IN A VEHICLE PLATOON

摘要

A device for longitudinal control of a utility vehicle (120) in a vehicle combination (100) one after the other moving vehicles (110, 120, 130) will be described. The apparatus comprises a communication unit of the commercial vehicle, which provides a uniform for the vehicles in the vehicle association, location-related speed course (404) for a lying ahead travel distance of the vehicle dressing. The apparatus further comprises a longitudinal control of the utility vehicle, which regulates a variable distance (124) for the preceding vehicle such that the commercial vehicle complies with a predetermined speed profile from the location-related speed with a constant time difference from the preceding vehicle.
