Abstract:
Method of controlling longitudinal dynamics of a motor vehicle as a function of input data comprising current vehicle driving state parameters and one of a desired longitudinal speed (v.sub.sp) and a desired longitudinal acceleration, (a.sub.sp), said method comprising:determining controller-internal values for the desired longitudinal speed (v.sub.si) and the desired longitudinal acceleration (a.sub.si) as a function of said input data; andgenerating at least a drive train actuating signal (U.sub.a) as a function of at least said controller-internal values, by means of an inverse vehicle longitudinal dynamics model, which generates corresponding actuating signal values in response to an input of said desired longitudinal speed value and said desired longitudinal acceleration value, based on an inversion of a model which simulates dynamic response of the vehicle to input actuating signal values.
