A controller causes a signal to be received by a main control module (MCM) in a controller area network of a vehicle when the vehicle is determined to be speeding or when a set speed of a cruise control would result in speeding. The signal indicates to the MCM that a driver of the vehicle is braking. The signal is caused to be received by the MCM when the vehicle is determined to be speeding regardless of whether the driver of the vehicle is actually braking, whereby cruise control that is engaged is disengaged by the MCM. Such controller is utilized in conjunction with ADA systems, especially ISA systems, for enabling such systems to properly function without specific regard to the particular manufacturer and model of the cruise control module that may be used in a given vehicle.

Simulating braking when speeding on cruise control to facilitate use of ISA system

A method of decelerating a vehicle upon entering a halt zone includes determining a location of a vehicle at routine intervals while the vehicle is traveling along a road; determining when the vehicle enters a halt zone; and upon determining that the vehicle has entered a halt zone, limiting a speed of the vehicle to a nominal speed. The method preferably is performed by an intelligent speed adaptor (ISA) system of a vehicle. The vehicle preferably is part of a fleet of commercial vehicles, and a fleet manager preferably is notified when a vehicle has entered a halt zone.

Using ISA system to decelerate truck upon entering geofenced area

A speed limiter method and system that automatically limits the maximum speed of a motor vehicle based on the segment of the road the vehicle is travelling on and on the user or driver of the vehicle, by modifying an actual throttle sensor signal from the throttle position sensor of the vehicle transmitted to the engine control unit.
