Abstract
A method and control unit determines a fuel efficient acceleration behavior of a motor vehicle for a predetermined road section. The determination of the acceleration behavior is based on a determined initial speed of the motor vehicle in a first position in the road section, and a determined target speed of the motor vehicle in a determined second position in the road section, the second position being separated from the first position by an acceleration distance. The first position is determined such that the acceleration distance is less than or equal to a maximal acceleration distance Sacc, the maximal acceleration distance Sacc being dynamically determined based on at least one first road condition for the road section and on at least one characteristic of the motor vehicle.
