Electric vehicle speed controller

A vehicle speed control system comprising:

• a GNSS system configured to determine vehicle location;
• a digital cockpit configured to display speed control information;
• and
• a speed controller configured to:
• obtain a plurality of environmental conditions including:
• a traffic information grade,
• a weather service grade for driving conditions,
• a rain sensor level grade,
• a visibility level grade, and
• location perception information including an area indication,
• determine an initial state of the vehicle,
• in response to a plurality of environmental perception conditions exceeding predetermined grades, generate a first output,
• generate a second output based on the area indication,
• activate a speed inhibition mode based on the first output, the second output, and the initial state of the vehicle, and
• deactivate the speed inhibition mode based on a speed of the vehicle exceeding a predetermined threshold and the environmental condition triggering a predetermined safety event.

A computer-implemented method for electric vehicle speed control, comprising:

• obtaining, via an electronic processor, a plurality of environmental conditions including:
• a traffic information grade,
• a weather service grade for driving conditions,
• a rain sensor level grade,
• a visibility level grade, and
• location perception information including an area indication,
• determining, via the electronic processor, an initial state of the vehicle;
• in response to a plurality of environmental perception conditions exceeding predetermined grades, generating, via the electronic processor, a first output,
• generating, via the electronic processor, a second output based on the area indication;
• activating, via the electronic processor, a speed inhibition mode based on the first output, the second output, and the initial state of the vehicle, and
• deactivating, via the electronic processor, the speed inhibition mode based on a speed of the vehicle exceeding a predetermined threshold and the environmental condition triggering a predetermined safety event.
