Abstract
Abstract A vehicle speed control system comprises a vehicle speed controller (14) and an auxiliary engine speed controller (17) which keeps to the engine speed set by the first controller (14) and which controls the amount of fuel and/or air supplied to the vehicle engine. A comparator (13) compares actual and desired vehicle speed signals and is connected to the first controller (14), which produces a desired engine speed signal which is compared (16) with the actual engine speed signal from a sensor (21).

Claim 1
Independent Claim
153 words
A system for controlling the speed of a vehicle with an internal combustion engine, the system comprising: first sensor means for sensing the actual speed of the vehicle and supplying a first sensor signal indicative of said actual speed; first comparator means for comparing said first sensor signal to a first desired signal indicative of a desired speed of the vehicle and producing a first comparator signal; a PI-controller for receiving said first comparator signal and for supplying a first control signal representing a desired engine speed; second sensor means for sensing the actual speed of the engine and supplying a second sensor signal indicative of the actual engine speed; second comparator means for comparing said second sensor signal to said first control signal to produce a second comparator signal; and, a PD-controller for receiving said second comparator signal and producing an output for controlling the amount of fuel supplied to the engine.
