METHOD AND CONTROL ARRANGEMENT FOR CONTROLLING A SPEED OF A VEHICLE

Patentradars sammanfattning

The invention by Scania CV AB covers a method and control arrangement that monitors accelerator pedal position and, once the pedal is held within a defined sub-region of its full travel range for at least a first period of time, automatically takes over torque management to maintain vehicle speed at or below a target speed rounded to the nearest 5 or 10 km/h or current speed limit. The function operates transparently without driver-initiated cruise control commands, activating and deactivating based solely on pedal behavior. When the pedal is moved outside the sub-region—particularly by further depression—the speed-capping function ends, and safeguards prevent sudden torque surges upon deactivation. The system also supports downhill operation by applying brake torque to hold the target speed.
