Abstract
The present invention relates to methods and apparatuses for performing driving assistance for a controlled vehicle, involving determining a longitudinal acceleration target value on the basis of a lateral acceleration of the controlled vehicle and one or more setting parameters, and controlling a longitudinal acceleration of the controlled vehicle on the basis of the calculated longitudinal acceleration target value. According to the invention, a lateral acceleration acting, during cornering, on a proceeding vehicle, which moves in the longitudinal direction on the road ahead of the controlled vehicle, is estimated, and the one or more setting parameters for the calculation of the longitudinal acceleration target value are set based on the estimated lateral acceleration acting on the proceeding vehicle during cornering.
