  • Patent number: 6167340
    Abstract: A method and a speed control system for controlling a speed of a vehicle utilizes a speed sensor for sensing a speed of the vehicle and generating a corresponding speed signal. A control unit determines one of a quick or slow acceleration status of the vehicle based on the speed signal. The control unit also determines a mode of operation of the speed control system and filters the speed signal based on the acceleration status and the mode of operation of the speed control system. The speed of the vehicle is then controlled based on the filtered speed signal.

  • Patent number: 5977738
    Abstract: A method and system for accurately controlling a position of a servo motor in a vehicle speed control system for various operation conditions includes predetermined parameters of a polynomial which define desired positions of a servo motor for various vehicle speeds under normal operation conditions. A sensor senses a speed of the vehicle and generates a corresponding speed signal. A controller determines an initial desired position of servo motor based on the speed signal. The controller also determines whether the operation condition of the vehicle has deviated from the normal operation condition, and if so, determines a revised desired position of the servo motor based on the actual position of the servo motor and the initial desired position of the servo motor. Finally, the controller controls the servo motor based on the revised desired position of the servo motor.
