Abstract

A method and an arrangement are suggested for limiting the speed of a vehicle to a limit speed with the arrangement not needing an integral component and nonetheless being precise at steady state. A maximum permissible acceleration proportional to the difference between an actual speed and the limit speed is determined. From the maximum permissible acceleration, a limit value for an output quantity of a drive unit of the vehicle is determined by means of a vehicular dynamic operation equation in dependence upon the running resistance. The magnitude of the limit value for limiting the speed of the vehicle to the limit speed may not be exceeded.
