Abstract

In a method for the longitudinal control of a vehicle, where information from a navigation system is recorded and where a target value of at least one parameter for longitudinal control is determined in dependence on the information from the navigation system, the information from the navigation system is used to determine the probability with which the vehicle will drive onto a highway entrance. When the probability is higher than a specified threshold the control unit uses a longitudinal acceleration that is increased compared to regular operation.
