Zusammenfassung:A method for controlling a rolling or a freewheeling mode of a vehicle having a drive-train with an engine, an automatic or automated transmission and controllable means for interrupting force flow in the drive-train. A current vehicle position and a first road stretch, between the current vehicle position and a road stretch section ahead along which a speed limit applies, are determined. While driving with the drive-train engaged, for the road stretch section ahead, a predicted speed variation, if the force flow in the drive-train is interrupted, is calculated and, based this speed variation, a second road stretch is determined which the vehicle, with the force flow interrupted covers, until a value of the predicted speed variation corresponds to a value of the speed limit ahead. With regard to the determined road stretches, a road stretch point for initiating the rolling or freewheeling mode is determined.
