Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A method of activating cruise control for a vehicle in motion is described. The vehicle speed is continuously acquired. A maximum allowable speed on the path currently travelled by the vehicle is determined. A value V1 for a limit speed is selected based on and below the determined maximum allowable speed. A time range of T units of time is selected based on the maximum allowable speed. The average speed is continuously calculated based on the continuously acquired speed measurements for the most recent T units of time. Upon determination that the speed of the vehicle exceeds the value V1 and that during the most recent T units of time the speed has deviated less than or equal to a predefined allowable deviation from the last calculated average speed, the cruise control is automatically activated to operate the vehicle at said last calculated average speed.
