Abstract

See full text

A method for controlling the speed of a vehicle having a regenerative or active braking capacity when the vehicle is traveling downhill using a cruise control system on the vehicle. When brake pedal is applied and the cruise control is set, the vehicle is put into a controlled braking mode. The cruise control system controls are then used inversely to the normal operation where decreases in vehicle speed are provided by applying motoring torque. For the inversed cruise control, increasing the vehicle speed is prohibited by applying more regenerative braking torque.
