1. A method for controlling the driving speed of a vehicle, the method comprising the steps of:
- generating first and second input quantities from first and second functions for influencing the driving speed of the vehicle with said first and second functions being a speed limiting function and a speed control function, respectively;
forming first and second base values for said first and second functions, respectively;
supplying said first and second input quantities and said first and second base values to first and second mixers, respectively, wherein said first input quantity is limited in dependence upon said first base value to form a first output quantity and said second input quantity is limited in dependence upon said second base value to form a second output quantity;
applying said first and second output quantities to a distributor and making a selection therein from said output quantities to form at least one propulsion desired value; and
,outputting said at least one propulsion desired value to corresponding control functions for motor, braking system and/or transmission of said vehicle.

Abstract
A method and an arrangement for controlling the driving speed of a vehicle are suggested wherein at least two functions are provided which influence the vehicle speed. To avoid conflict between these functions, at least one base value for the input quantities of the functions is formed which is considered in the formation of the input quantities.
