    Abstract: A system for controlling vehicle speed in accordance with a current value of vehicle set-speed. The system responds to user input to change the current value of vehicle set-speed to a different value and is configured to store the current value of set-speed in a memory as a stored set-speed and to change the current value of set-speed in dependence on the user input. The speedometer indicates both the current and stored set-speeds. The system can return the current value of vehicle set-speed to the stored set-speed upon receipt of a “resume” or other user command. The system can enter into a descent control mode that applies braking torque but no drive torque and can also enter into a full functionality mode that provides either drive or braking torque to maintain the vehicle at the set-speed.

    Abstract translation: 根据车辆设定速度的当前值来控制车速的系统。 系统响应用户输入将车辆设定速度的当前值改变为不同的值,并且被配置为将存储器中的设定速度的当前值作为存储的设定速度存储,并且改变设定速度的当前值, 依赖于用户输入的速度。 速度计表示当前和存储的设定速度。 系统可以在接收到“恢复”或其他用户命令时将车辆设置速度的当前值返回到存储的设定速度。 该系统可以进入下降控制模式,该模式采用制动力矩而不是驱动扭矩,也可以进入提供驱动或制动力矩的全功能模式,以将车辆保持在设定速度。

    Abstract: Some embodiments of the invention provide a speed control system (10, 12) for a vehicle (100), comprising: torque control means (12) for automatically causing application of positive and negative torque, as required, to one or more wheels (111, 112, 114, 115) of a vehicle (100) to cause a vehicle (100) to travel in accordance with a target speed value; path prediction means (10) for predicting a path PP of the vehicle (100) in a direction of travel; detection means (10) for detecting one or more objects (195) ahead of the vehicle (100); determining means (10) to determine whether one or more objects (195) detected by the detection means (10) lie outside the predicted path (PP); and control means (12) configured to, if said one or more detected objects (195) are determined to lie outside the predicted path (PP), automatically temporarily reduce the vehicle speed in dependence at least in part on a distance of the one or more detected objects (195) from the predicted path (PP).

    Abstract: A method for operating a speed control system of a vehicle is provided. The method comprises receiving one or more electrical signals representative of vehicle-related information. The method further comprises determining, based on the signals representative of vehicle-related information, whether one or more predetermined conditions are met. The method still further comprises automatically determining a baseline set-speed for the speed control system when it is determined that at least certain of the one or more predetermined conditions are met. The method yet still further comprises adjusting the baseline set-speed to determine an instantaneous set-speed of the speed control system based on a signal indicative of a desired comfort level. A speed control system comprising an electronic control unit configured to perform the above-described methodology is also provided.
