Abstract

A method and an arrangement for controlling or limiting the speed of a vehicle includes a controller which limits or controls the speed of the vehicle to a pregiven value. There is a movement out of or into the control region by actuating or releasing the accelerator pedal. When reentering into the control region, the controller starts with a start value which takes into account the speed trace in the phase after leaving the control region.
