Abstract
A vehicle control arrangement is configured to control steering and velocity of a road vehicle including a velocity control arrangement, remote sensors configured to acquire vehicle surrounding information, a steering control unit configured to control steering of the vehicle based on the vehicle surrounding information, an upcoming road geometry detecting unit configured to detect presence of an upcoming curve section, a hands-on-wheel detecting unit configured to detect if presence exists of at least one hand on a steering wheel of the vehicle. The velocity control arrangement is configured to perform a reduction of velocity of the vehicle in case presence of an upcoming curve section is detected and no presence is detected of at least one hand on the steering wheel.
