Abstract
A measuring and control system for a vehicle, having a measuring device for measuring the spacing between a following vehicle and a leading vehicle travelling ahead. The system involves a regulating and control unit for producing actuating signals as a function of measurement signals of the measuring device. In order to implement transverse guidance of a vehicle, the drawbar angle formed during cornering between the following vehicle and the leading vehicle is determined. The drawbar angle is formed between the longitudinal axis of the following vehicle and a connecting line between the following vehicle and the leading vehicle and is determined in the measuring device as an additional measurement signal. A steering signal is produced in the regulating and control unit as an actuating signal for the transverse guidance of the following vehicle as a function of the drawbar angle.
