The invention relates to a device (D) dedicated to the control of the operation of a cruise control for a first vehicle. The device comprises processing means (MT) for i) calculating a speed correction (CV) to be applied to a setpoint speed (VC) of the cruise control based on at least said setpoint speed (VC), an inter-vehicle setpoint time, an estimation of the inter-vehicle distance (DIV) between the first vehicle and a second vehicle preceding the same and an estimation of the second vehicle speed, and ii) for supplying the cruise control with a corrected setpoint value (VCC) based on the calculated speed correction (CV).
