METHOD AND CONTROL ARRANGEMENT FOR CONTROLLING A SPEED OF A VEHICLE PERFORMING A PULSE AND GLIDE OPERATION

A method is provided for controlling a speed of a vehicle using a Pulse and Glide (PnG) operation whereby the speed of the vehicle is controlled about a reference speed. The PnG operation comprises a pulse-phase during which the speed of the vehicle is increased to a first speed, higher than the ref...

Zusammenfassung:	A method is provided for controlling a speed of a vehicle using a Pulse and Glide (PnG) operation whereby the speed of the vehicle is controlled about a reference speed. The PnG operation comprises a pulse-phase during which the speed of the vehicle is increased to a first speed, higher than the reference speed, followed by a glide-phase during which the speed of the vehicle is allowed to decrease to a second speed, lower than the reference speed. When the PnG operation is being carried out and a speed reduction operation is commenced to decrease the speed lower than the reference speed, the method comprises adjusting the PnG operation such that the speed reduction to the decreased speed is carried out immediately following a speed increase in the pulse-phase to at least the first speed, wherein no propulsive torque is applied during the speed decrease.
