Claims20
A speed control system for a vehicle, comprising:
- an electric controller configured to automatically cause the vehicle to operate in accordance with a target speed value, the electric controller configured to receive electrical signals indicative of turning of a vehicle and a driving condition of the vehicle, and
- configured to adjust automatically the value of the target speed value in dependence on both said electrical signal indicative of turning of a vehicle and said electrical signal indicative of a driving condition of the vehicle, wherein the electrical signal indicative of a driving condition of the vehicle comprises a signal relating to at least one of a driving mode in which a vehicle is operating and a driving surface over which a vehicle is driving.
A vehicle comprising a speed control system for a vehicle, comprising:
- an electric controller configured automatically cause the vehicle to operate in accordance with a target speed value, the electric controller configured to receive electrical signals indicative of turning of a vehicle and a driving condition of the vehicle, and
- to adjust automatically the value of the target speed value in dependence on both said electrical signal indicative of turning of a vehicle and said electrical signal indicative of a driving condition of the vehicle, wherein the electrical signal indicative of a driving condition of the vehicle comprises a signal relating to at least one of a driving mode in which a vehicle is operating and a driving surface over which a vehicle is driving.
A method of controlling a vehicle, comprising:
- automatically causing a vehicle to operate in accordance with a target speed value;
- receiving information relating to turning of a vehicle;
- receiving information relating to a driving condition;
- and
- adjusting automatically the value of the target speed value in dependence both on said information relating to turning of a vehicle and on said information relating to a driving condition, wherein receiving information relating to driving condition comprises receiving information relating to one or more of:
- a driving mode in which a vehicle is operating and a driving surface over which a vehicle is driving.
