Method for controlling a vehicle's driving speed uses functions to influence vehicle speed and avoid conflict between the functions by creating a base value for allowed variables for the functions.

摘要

A speed-limiting function (SLF) (200) operates alongside a speed control function (202). The SLF can apply limits on cornering or on pressure loss or can be preset by a driver. Adjustment variables are transmitted to one of two mixers (204,206) allocated to each function. Set point values limited as required are coordinated in a distributor (210). An Independent claim is also included for a device for controlling a vehicle's speed with a microcomputer.
