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 (1) with a braking device (3), a control (4) operable between a rest position and an end position, and return means (6) 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 (1), and braking the motor vehicle (1) by controlling the braking device (3) as a function of the first parameter and of the determined additional parameters.
