VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL SYSTEM

摘要

The present invention relates to a control system for a vehicle having a plurality of wheels, the control system is configured to automatically control the speed of the vehicle in dependence on an input target set-speed. The system comprises receiving means for receiving a user input of a target set-speed at which the vehicle is intended to travel comprising an input means to enable the user to incrementally increase and/or decrease the target set-speed upon each actuation of said input means by an incremental value. Applying means are provided for applying torque to the at least one of the plurality of wheels for propelling the vehicle at the vehicle control speed. The control system is configured to determine said incremental value in dependence upon said at least one of: the instantaneous vehicle speed; the target set-speed; or the terrain over which the vehicle is travelling.
