Method for adjusting an automatic speed control of a vehicle

A computing unit configured to adjust an automatic speed control of a vehicle, the computing unit configured to:

• receive environment sensor data of at least one environment sensor of the vehicle and/or map data of a map representation representing the environment of the vehicle;
• based on the environment sensor data and/or the map data, determine a speed limit for a roadway being driven by the vehicle;
• using the automatic cruise control, regulate a vehicle speed to a speed value corresponding to the speed limit;
• based on the environment sensor data and/or based on the map data, identify a marked stretch of roadway of the roadway being driven by the vehicle;
• and
• adjust the vehicle speed regulated by the automatic speed control to a predefined vehicle speed stored in speed information for driving over the marked stretch of roadway.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium on which is stored a computer program including commands for adjusting an automatic speed control of a vehicle, the commands, when executed by a data processing unit, causing the data processing unit to perform the following steps:

• receiving environment sensor data of at least one environment sensor of the vehicle and/or map data of a map representation representing the environment of the vehicle;
• based on the environment sensor data and/or the map data, determining a speed limit for a roadway being driven by the vehicle;
• using the automatic cruise control, regulating a vehicle speed to a speed value corresponding to the speed limit;
• based on the environment sensor data and/or based on the map data, identifying a marked stretch of roadway of the roadway being driven by the vehicle;
• and
• adjusting the vehicle speed regulated by the automatic speed control to a predefined vehicle speed stored in speed information for driving over the marked stretch of roadway.
