Method and Device for the Operation of a Driving Function When Approaching a Signaling Unit

The invention relates to a device for the operation of a driving function for automated control of a vehicle when approaching a signaling unit. The device determines a first driving speed value based on distance information relating to the distance of the signaling unit from the vehicle, and based on a first deceleration value for the deceleration of the vehicle. The device compares the actual speed of the vehicle with the first driving speed value and, according to the comparison, brings about or inhibit one or more driving function measures in relation to the driving function. The one or more driving function measures comprise: issuing a suggestion for manual application of the signaling unit to the operation of the driving function; automatic application of the signaling unit to the operation of the driving function; and/or reducing an acceleration value of an acceleration of the vehicle.
