Abstract:
The invention relates to a method and a control arrangement for controlling a speed of a vehicle in an upcoming road section comprising a road crest. The method comprises: determining a speed reduction to be performed before reaching the road crest based on at least a gradient of a downhill slope following the road crest; determining whether the upcoming road section has a single lane or multiple lanes; controlling the speed of the vehicle in the upcoming road section based on the speed reduction and based on whether the upcoming road section has a single lane or multiple lanes, wherein the speed reduction is limited when the upcoming road section has a single lane compared to when the upcoming road section has multiple lanes. In some embodiments, the speed reduction of the vehicle is limited in situations when there is a risk of queues building up behind the vehicle.
