ABSTRACT:
Vehicle operation is controllable and/or regulatable by specifying a driver request describing a setpoint rotational speed or a setpoint torque via an accelerator pedal, detecting the instantaneous position of the accelerator pedal and controlling and/or regulating the internal combustion engine such that the setpoint rotational speed or setpoint torque is achievable. To provide for a sustained-action brake to be easily operated in the vehicle, and increase the vehicle's range of use, one of possible braking actions of the vehicle is specified by selecting a determined position of the pedal. As a function of an instantaneously detected position of the accelerator pedal, the operation of the vehicle is controlled and/or regulated such that braking power specified via the accelerator pedal is achieved. A variation in the braking power specified via the accelerator pedal is also converted as continuously as possible to a corresponding braking power by suitably activating additional components or devices.
