Abstract
A processor unit (3) is configured for accessing speed data of a second vehicle (18), the speed data generated by a sensor of a first vehicle (1). The processor unit is also configured for creating a driving behavior profile of the second vehicle (18) based on the speed data and making a prediction about the future driving behavior of the second vehicle (18) based on the driving behavior profile of the second vehicle (18). Moreover, the processor unit is configured for determining a trajectory for the first vehicle (1) by executing an MPC algorithm, which includes a longitudinal dynamic model of the first vehicle and a cost function, such that the cost function is minimized. The prediction about the future driving behavior of the second vehicle (18) is taken into account in the determination of the trajectory.
