Abstract:
1. A module for determination of speed set-point values for a control system of a vehicle, the module comprising: a reference speed input unit configured and operable to input a reference speed, which is the speed obtained for a driver of the vehicle; a position and map data input unit configured to receive position data and map data for the vehicle; a horizon and route segment determination unit configured and operable to determine a horizon according to the received position data and map data, and to determine an itinerary made up of route segments with at least one road topography characteristic for each route segment; a route segment category assigning and speed calculation unit configured and operable to assign, according to the at least one road topography characteristic, each route segment to a route segment category of a plurality of route segment categories, to calculate automatically an introductory speed for each route segment, and to generate, by adjusting each introductory speed according to rules of the route segment category, the speed set-point values across the horizon such that the speed set-point values are within a range bounded by v the control system is configured and operable to regulate the vehicle according to the speed set-point values.
