DEVICE AND METHOD FOR DECELERATING A VEHICLE

A device for decelerating a vehicle is provided, comprising a target speed setting device (8) for specifying a target speed of the vehicle, an actual speed detection device (6) for determining an actual speed of the vehicle, a deceleration detection device for detecting an actual deceleration of the vehicle when the target speed is less than the actual speed, a deceleration comparison device for comparing the actual deceleration with a settable target deceleration and determining a deviation of the actual deceleration from the target deceleration, and a driving control (7; 18) for controlling a drive (1, 2; 15) of the vehicle such that the deviation of the actual deceleration from the target deceleration is minimized.
