Device and method for determining a highest allowable velocity of a vehicle

摘要

Method and device for the determining a maximum allowed velocity (V_max) for a vehicle ( 1 ) when going downhill ( 2 ). The invention includes a detector ( 11 ) for detection of current inclination (alpha) of the vehicle ( 1 ) in relation to a horizontal plane ( 3 ), and means ( 10 ) for the determination of a value relating to the maximum allowed velocity (V_max) of the vehicle in dependence of at least the value of the inclination (alpha). The invention also relates to a procedure for the control of the velocity. The invention provides a procedure for velocity control that takes the inclination into account when going downhill.
