ABSTRACT:
A control system for use with the throttle linkage of a motor vehicle to regulate the speed of the motor vehicle at a predetermined level. The control system comprises a speed sensor communicatively connected to the motor vehicle which outputs signals which are a function of the speed of the motor vehicle. A control unit is connected to the speed sensor. The control unit receives the output signals from the speed sensor and has a control circuit for processing the output signals to provide electrical control signals and a drive mechanism responsive to the control signals. The control unit further comprises a linear actuator linked to the throttle by a cable. The linear actuator is communicatively connected to the throttle linkage so that the linear actuator moves the throttle to control the speed of the vehicle. The control system has a clutch connected to the control unit for engaging the drive mechanism with the linear actuator.
