Abstract: An automated method of controlling a speed of a vehicle includes identifying parameters of a driving instance of the vehicle; identifying a predetermined profile that is applicable to the driving instance based on the identified parameters; identifying a predetermined speed policy applicable to the driving instance based on the identified profile; and implementing the identified speed policy during the driving instance. The method may be repeated during the driving instance, whereby the speed policy that is implemented is automatically updated when one or more changes in the identified parameters cause a different predetermined speed policy to be identified. Parameter may include driver parameters (e.g., driver age and driver experience); vehicle parameters (e.g., vehicle age, mileage, and tire wear) tire maintenance information); behavior parameters (e.g., speed, acceleration, hard braking of the vehicle, following distance, swerving, and cornering); and circumstance parameters (e.g.

Abstract: A method of decelerating a vehicle upon entering a halt zone includes determining a location of a vehicle at routine intervals while the vehicle is traveling along a road; determining when the vehicle enters a halt zone; and upon determining that the vehicle has entered a halt zone, limiting a speed of the vehicle to a nominal speed. The method preferably is performed by an intelligent speed adaptor (ISA) system of a vehicle. The vehicle preferably is part of a fleet of commercial vehicles, and a fleet manager preferably is notified when a vehicle has entered a halt zone.

Abstract: A speed limiter method and system that automatically limits the maximum speed of a motor vehicle based on the segment of the road the vehicle is travelling on and on the user or driver of the vehicle, by modifying an actual throttle sensor signal from the throttle position sensor of the vehicle transmitted to the engine control unit.
