Abstract
The invention relates to a method and a device for determining a deceleration setpoint value of an autonomous vehicle (204), the autonomous vehicle (204) comprising an adaptive cruise control capable of decelerating the autonomous vehicle according to a first deceleration setpoint (215), referred to as standard deceleration, the autonomous vehicle (204) traveling along a first lane (201) at a first speed, the vehicle heading into a second lane (202) subject to a speed limit (208) at a distance, D, relative to the beginning (203) of the second lane (202), said method comprising the steps wherein: —a necessary deceleration is calculated; —the deceleration setpoint of the autonomous vehicle (204) is determined; —the adaptive cruise control applies the deceleration setpoint thus determined in order to decelerate the autonomous vehicle (204) from the beginning (203) of the second lane (202).
