METHOD FOR THE ENERGY-OPTIMAL SPECIFICATION OF A DRIVING SPEED

Energy-optimal specification of a current vehicle speed at a selected desired average speed of a planned route, taking into account a wind distribution along the route, is provided. The wind distribution is provided by a server external to the vehicle in the form of wind values for several successive positions along or in the local region of the planned route. Local wind values are based on measured values recorded by a plurality of vehicles of a fleet using wind sensors and shared with the server external to the vehicle.
