ABSTRACT:
A method and a device for controlling a vehicle in which the vehicle's speed is only regulated, i.e., limited, if descent is detected. Descent detection is carried out based on the vehicle's actual acceleration and a calculated model acceleration of the vehicle, descent being detected if the rate of change of the actual acceleration and the difference between the actual acceleration and model acceleration are positive.
