PROCESS AND APPARATUS FOR CONTROLLING THE FORWARD MOVEMENT OF A MOTOR VEHICLE AS A FUNCTION OF ROUTE PARAMETERS IN A DRIVING MODE WITH A SINGLE PEDAL

A process for controlling the forward movement of a motor vehicle with a braking device, a control operable between a rest position and an end position, and return means for automatically returning the control to the rest position by a return movement includes the steps of determining at least a first parameter being characteristic of the return movement, determining one or more additional parameters, each of which is representative of one among a morphological state, a regulatory state, a traffic state, and a kinematic state of a portion of the road in front of the motor vehicle, and braking the motor vehicle by controlling the braking device as a function of the first parameter and of the determined additional parameters.
