In a method for controlling the distance and/or the speed of a following vehicle running behind a leading vehicle, the distance between the following vehicle and leading vehicle is measured, and the speeds of the following vehicle and of the leading vehicle are measured, in the event of undershooting a minimum distance and/or in the event of overshooting a minimum speed difference a desired deceleration is determined for the following vehicle and automatic actuation of the vehicle brake on the following vehicle is initiated. The automatic actuation of the vehicle brake is triggered only for the case in which the absolute value of the desired deceleration overshoots a threshold value.

В методе для контролировать расстояние and/or скорость following корабля за leading кораблем, измерено расстояние между following кораблем и leading кораблем, и измерены скорости following корабля и leading корабля, в случае undershooting минимальня расстояние and/or в случае промахивать разницу в минимальной скорости заданное торможение обусловлено для following корабля и начато автоматическое возбуждение тормоза корабля на following корабле. Автоматическое возбуждение тормоза корабля вызвано только в случай в абсолютное значение заданного торможения промахивает порогового значение.
