Abstract

A device for the control of the traveling speed of a motor vehicle with a regulating unit actuatable by the vehicle driver, particularly a gas pedal, and means for transmission of the movement of the same to an element, particularly the throttle valve, which influences the fuel-air mixture. An electrical controller is provided, the desired value input of which is applied with the output signal of a first electrical position indicator, the latter being coupled with the regulating unit and the actual value input of which is applied with the output signal of a second electrical position indicator, the latter being coupled with the setting member or positioning actuator of an electrical setting or adjusting device, the actuator standing in connection with the element which influences the air-fuel mixture. Measures are provided which compensate for abnormal speed conditions of the device.
