Abstract:
A controller for the anticipatory influencing of the speed of a motor vehicle has the steps: repeatedly determining and evaluating a traffic situation ahead of the host motor vehicle on the roadway currently traveled, as well as the position of the host motor vehicle on the roadway; comparing the determined and evaluated traffic situation to a current driving situation of the host motor vehicle; and determining whether a reduction in the speed of the host motor vehicle, taking into account the determined traffic situation ahead of the host motor vehicle at a distance to be established ahead of the host motor vehicle, in the traffic situation (i) is beneficial to an extent to be established and (ii) is reducible to a target speed to be established, without braking intervention, taking into account the current speed of the host motor vehicle and the distance of the determined traffic situation from the host motor vehicle; and as a function of the determined traffic situation, applying a counterforce to an accelerator pedal against a force applied by the driver, wherein the counterforce is to be dimensioned and/or modulated in the sense of signaling to the driver that he/she is to reduce a force currently applied to the accelerator pedal by the driver.

Claim (Index 5):
The control system for the anticipatory influencing of the speed according to  claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured for not taking into account a current speed intent of the driver if the force currently applied to the accelerator pedal by the driver is not, or is not sufficiently, reduced for reaching the target speed, and causing the target speed of the vehicle to be reached, regardless of the speed intent of the driver, by signaling to a drive controller of the vehicle.
