Abstract

Disclosed is a method intended to regulate the speed of a vehicle with at least partially automated driving and knowing the radius of curvature of a future segment which it is about to take on its route. This method comprises a step (10-90) which involves regulating the speed of the vehicle in accordance with a speed setpoint and, in the event that a radius of curvature of the future segment representative of a bend is detected, determining a maximum transverse acceleration that the vehicle can undergo in the bend depending on the speed setpoint, then a maximum speed that the vehicle would have in the bend if it underwent this maximum transverse acceleration in the presence of the detected radius of curvature, then imposing a deceleration phase on the vehicle until a deceleration speed chosen as a function of this determined maximum speed is reached.
