Controlling movement of a vehicle

An apparatus for controlling movement of a vehicle, the apparatus comprising a processor configured to:

• receive first signals from a receiving means in dependence on signals from a remote control device indicating a requested motion of the vehicle;
• receive angle signals, from an angle sensing means, indicating one or both of a roll angle and a pitch angle of the vehicle;
• determine a maximum speed value for the vehicle in dependence on one or both of the roll angle and the pitch angle;
• and
• provide an output signal for controlling a speed of the vehicle based on the requested motion to limit the speed of the vehicle to a speed at or below the maximum speed value,
• wherein the processor is configured to provide an output signal to cause a parking brake of the vehicle to be applied and a vehicle transmission to be put into park mode in dependence on the maximum speed value being determined to be zero.

A vehicle comprising

• a processor configured to:
• receive first signals from a receiving means in dependence on signals from a remote control device indicating a requested motion of the vehicle;
• receive angle signals, from an angle sensing means, indicating one or both of a roll angle and a pitch angle of the vehicle;
• determine a maximum speed value for the vehicle in dependence on one or both of the roll angle and the pitch angle;
• provide an output signal for controlling a speed of the vehicle based on the requested motion, wherein the speed of the vehicle is limited to a speed dependent on the maximum speed value;
• and
• provide an output signal to cause a parking brake of the vehicle to be applied and a vehicle transmission to be put into park mode in dependence on the maximum speed value being determined to be zero.

An apparatus for controlling movement of a vehicle, the apparatus comprising a processor configured to:

• receive first signals from a receiving means in dependence on received signals transmitted from a remote control device indicating a requested motion of a vehicle;
• receive one or more second signals indicating that a trailer is connected to the vehicle;
• and
• provide an output signal for controlling movement of the vehicle based on the requested motion,
• wherein the output signal is dependent on the one or more second signals.
