Abstract
A vehicle speed control system includes a vehicle accelerator mechanism manually moveable between a plurality of positions, a detection arrangement configured to detect the position of the vehicle accelerator mechanism and to generate an output signal indicative of the position of the vehicle accelerator mechanism, and a vehicle speed controller configured to establish a speed of the vehicle as a function of the detected position of the manually controllable vehicle accelerator mechanism, and to use the output signal as an input speed control signal. A method of controlling speed of a vehicle by a vehicle speed control system is also provided.
