Abstract
A system includes a GPS receiver that generates a signal that is representative of a posted speed limit at a location where a vehicle is located and a device that generates a signal that is representative of an actual speed of the vehicle. A controller is responsive to the GPS receiver signal and the actual speed sensor signal for either (1) generating an alarm or (2) limiting or otherwise controlling the speed of the vehicle when the actual speed of the vehicle is greater than the posted speed limit.
