Abstract
The invention provides a vehicle speed control system having a side-slope detection system (C). The system comprises a processor () arranged to receive, from one or more sensors (C) arranged to capture data in respect of terrain ahead of the vehicle, terrain information indicative of the topography of an area extending ahead of the vehicle (). The processor (), in dependence upon a predicted path of the vehicle () over said terrain extending ahead of the vehicle (), generates, for the predicted path of the vehicle (), information indicative of the angle of side-slope of the predicted path, being the slope of the predicted path transverse to a direction of travel of the vehicle (). The vehicle speed control system is configured to control vehicle speed in dependence at least in part on the information indicative of the angle of side-slope of the predicted path generated by the side-slope detection system.
