Reference speed values for a vehicle's control system are determined by: determining, using map and location data, route segments, each with route characteristics; performing, simulation cycles, each comprising simulation steps of: predicting the speed when the set speed is imparted as the reference speed; comparing with first lower and upper limit values, which define an engine torque, for use in the next simulation cycle; making a second prediction of the speed when the engine torque is a value that depends on the result of said first comparison in the immediately preceding simulation cycle; comparing the second predicted vehicle speed with second lower and upper limit values, which delineate a range within which the speed is maintained, with an offset added if the vehicle is in a route segment with a steep hill; and determining the reference value based on the second comparison and/or the second predicted vehicle speed. |
