Abstract
A method for cruise control in which actual speed is changed by acceleration regulation in the direction of a predetermined set speed, as long as it is outside a speed regulation interval, and the speed is regulated by speed regulation to the set speed as long as the sped is within the speed regulation interval, changes from acceleration regulation to speed regulation by using a determined roadway gradient characteristic in conjunction with a speed control parameter set matched to the roadway gradient.
