Abstract
Apparatus for controlling movement of a vehicle, a system and vehicle comprising the apparatus, and a method for controlling the movement of a vehicle are disclosed. The apparatus comprises a controller configured to receive first signals from a receiving means in dependence on received transmitted signals from a remote control device indicating a requested motion of a vehicle and to receive second signals indicative of a value of traction of the vehicle. A maximum speed value for the vehicle is determined in dependence on the value of traction of the vehicle and/or on one or both of the detected pitch and roll angles of the vehicle. The controller provides an output signal for controlling speed of the vehicle based on the requested motion. The output signal is limited dependent upon the maximum speed value determined by the controller.
