Device for electrically controlling the speed of travel

摘要

A device for electrically controlling the speed of travel of an automotive vehicle, having a desired-value transmitter 2 which can be displaced by a gas pedal and whose output signal can act on a setting member 5 of a throttle valve 7. A pedal contact 14 can be acted on by the gas pedal 1 in such a manner that when the gas pedal 1 is moved out of the idling position, energy can be supplied to a unit which controls the speed of rotation of the engine. In series with the pedal contact 14 there is arranged a safety contact 15 which can be closed by mechanical actuation of the gas pedal 1 out of its idling position.
