COMPUTER SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING A VEHICLE

The present disclosure relates to a computer system for a vehicle, wherein the computer system comprises processing circuitry configured to: determine a target acceleration for the vehicle; determine a ground surface profile for a ground surface that is longitudinally ahead of the vehicle, the ground surface profile being indicative of an aggregated force acting on the vehicle; estimate a rolling resistance for the vehicle using a vehicle model; and determine a control parameter for an electric drive unit of the vehicle to longitudinally position the vehicle along the ground surface, wherein the control command is determined based on the combination of the determined target acceleration, the ground surface profile and the estimated rolling resistance.
