A vehicle speed control system and method controls vehicle speed when a constant speed travel system for a vehicle operates. The system includes a detector that detects travel speed of the vehicle, a throttle valve opening/closing unit that opens/closes a throttle valve in the vehicle, a brake control unit that controls the operation of a brake in the vehicle, a transmission control unit that changes shift stages of a transmission in the vehicle, and a control unit that extracts the difference between a travel speed and a desired speed and controls the throttle valve opening/closing unit, the brake control unit, and the transmission control unit to gradually operate in accordance with the extracted speed difference value, when the travel speed received from the speed detector is larger than the desired speed set in the constant speed travel system. |
