Abstract
The invention provides a method and apparatus for controlling the longitudinal dynamics of a motor vehicle, in which, as control output signal, at least one drive train actuating signal is generated as a function of input data comprising the current driving state of the vehicle, and the desired longitudinal speed or the desired longitudinal acceleration. Using these input data, controller-internal values for the desired longitudinal speed and the desired longitudinal acceleration are determined, and the drive train actuating signal is ascertained therefrom using an inverse vehicle longitudinal dynamics model to take into account the non-linear dynamics of vehicle behaviour, which is particularly relevant in the low driving speed range.
