Patent ID: 7120538

Claim:
A vehicle guidance system for guiding a vehicle with reference to pre-specified desired values of vehicle travel parameters in plural application phases, whereby the vehicle guidance system comprises: a script development function ( 3 ) for developing an application script that defines pre-specified desired values of the vehicle travel parameters in the plural application phases, according to which the vehicle is to be guided, regulators ( 12 ; 12 a , 12 b , 12 c ) for guiding the vehicle with reference to the pre-specified desired values of the vehicle travel parameters, an input function ( 2 ) for developing a regulator matrix by a user input, wherein the regulator matrix allocates the regulators to the application phases, and for modifying the regulator matrix by a user input on the basis of altered application phases, an application control ( 4 ) for controlling the time sequence of the application phases on the basis of the pre-specified desired values, and a regulator control ( 10 ) for activating a respective one of the regulators relevant in the respective application phase as allocated in the regulator matrix, wherein the activated respective regulator ( 12 ; 12 a , 12 b , 12 c ) is adapted to transfer a regulator status thereof for control or monitoring to the regulator control.
