Speed control (cruise control) system controls a vehicle according to input target speed, receives user input target speed and user input request of incremental increase in speed using set-speed + button (e.g. hand / foot operated), and applies torque accordingly, where the set-speed is increased while the setting button is held, and continues to increase by an increment once the setting button is released, the final increment being determined in dependence on either instantaneous vehicle speed, or travel terrain. May have electronic processor and memory storing programmed instructions. Absolute maximum set-speed value may also depend on instant speed and vehicle terrain. Target set-speed may be reduced in dependence on vehicle control speed. Target speed may equate to control speed plus V_set_max. Terrain mode may be user selected, or automatically detected using environmental sensors. Method of use and electronic controller are also provided. |
