ABSTRACT:
An automatic speed control system is disclosed in which an error signal Ve, representing the speed error of the vehicle, is added to a ramp voltage, ramping between fixed values, to produce a control signal Vc. Two comparators compare Vc with upper and lower limits, respectively, so as to produce a pulse train on one of two lines depending on the sign of the error and having a mark-space ratio depending on the magnitude of the error. A circuit responds to the first pulse to occur in the pulse train from one of the two comparators when the vehicle is accelerating towards and overshooting a new desired speed and, via a switching circuit, lowers the upper limit applied to that comparator so as to lengthen the first pulses and help to reduce overshoot of the desired speed. When the vehicle ceases accelerating, the upper limit is switched back to the desired value, and is also switched back to its original setting when the speed falls by a preset amount.
