Abstract

The invention relates to a system for evaluating the driving environment of a motor vehicle and for influencing the speed of the motor vehicle in its respective lane. The system comprises an electronic control unit that is connected: to a signal generator, which generates a signal that is characteristic of the desired speed of the motor vehicle; to a signal generator, which generates a signal that is characteristic of the rotating rate of the motor vehicle about the vertical axis thereof; to a signal generator that generates a signal characteristic of objects, which, in the direction of travel of the motor vehicle, are located in the space in front of the motor vehicle, with regard to their distance from and orientation to the motor vehicle, whereby this signal depicts the speed relative to that of the relevant motor vehicle and/or the distance from the relevant vehicle and/or the angular offset or the lateral placement relative to the vehicle longitudinal axis of the relevant vehicle, and; to a signal generator, which generates a signal that is characteristic of the speed of at least one wheel of the motor vehicle. Said electronic control unit is also connected to at least one controller, which influences the handling characteristics of the motor vehicle, in order to supply output signals to this controller that are derived from the handling characteristics of the target motor vehicle located in front of the relevant vehicle during which, inside the electronic control unit, a characteristic value windiness is determined from the actual rotating rate of the relevant motor vehicle. The characteristic value windiness is used to exclude, among the objects, those from being selected as the target vehicle that are further from the relevant vehicle than the others.
