US 2019/0155307 A1 · Method and System for Controlling the Speed of a Vehicle

Abstract

A system for regulating the speed of a vehicle includes defining a first border for a first geographic region. The border has a first speed within the border and a second speed outside of the border. The system includes determining a first velocity of the vehicle including a vehicle speed and direction of the vehicle approaching the border. The difference between the vehicle speed and the second speed is the calculated, as is a distance between the vehicle and the border. If the difference between the vehicle speed and the second speed divided by the distance is greater than a predetermined value, the vehicle is decelerated at a rate so that the vehicle will have a second speed when the vehicle reaches the border.

A method of regulating the speed of a vehicle relative to a border:

a) defining a first border for a first geographic region, the first border having a first speed within the border and a second speed outside of the border;
b) determining a first velocity of the vehicle including a vehicle speed and direction of the vehicle approaching the first border;
c) calculating the difference between the vehicle speed and the second speed;
d) calculating a distance between the vehicle and the border;
and
e) if the difference between the vehicle speed and the second speed divided by the distance is greater than a predetermined value, decelerating the vehicle at a rate so that the vehicle will have a second speed when the vehicle reaches the border.
