Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method for a vehicle control procedure, wherein in the case of this vehicle control procedure a closed loop control of the vehicle velocity is performed on the basis of a predetermined desired value, may comprise the following steps: determining on the basis of at least one predetermined criterion whether in the case of the closed loop control the vehicle velocity leaves a value range that is defined by at least one velocity threshold value while taking into consideration a tolerance range that defines predetermined, permitted deviations from this value range; and implementing a corresponding measure while modifying the vehicle control procedure in dependence upon the result of this determination procedure, wherein the determination procedure is performed on the basis of a signal analysis of at least one measurement signal that describes the movement status of the vehicle.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for controlling a vehicle comprising: by a controller, during an automatic parking maneuver and in response to vehicle speed being less than a minimum speed threshold defined by a desired speed for the parking maneuver for a predefined period of time, braking the vehicle to bring the vehicle to a standstill such that the automatic parking maneuver is interrupted or terminated and returning full control of the vehicle to a driver of the vehicle. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the returning includes alerting the driver.
