1. A method for managing speed regulation of a carrier vehicle including at least one regulation system, the method comprising:
- maintaining, by the regulation system, the vehicle at a predetermined speed or a predetermined distance behind a first target vehicle positioned ahead of the carrier vehicle in a lane;
detecting a change from the first target vehicle to a second target vehicle positioned ahead of the carrier vehicle;
receiving a signal from a line departure warning device, the signal corresponding to information concerning a crossing of a marking line on the ground by the carrier vehicle; and
managing the speed regulation as a function of the signal received from the line departure warning device, the managing includingdeactivating the regulation system when the signal received from the line departure warning device indicates that the carrier vehicle crossed the line; and
comparing, via the regulation system, relative speed and distance values between the second target vehicle and the carrier vehicle when the signal received from the line departure warning device indicates that the second target vehicle is inserted in the lane between the carrier vehicle and the first target vehicle.

6. A device for managing speed regulation of a carrier vehicle including at least one regulation system that maintains the vehicle at a predetermined speed or a predetermined distance behind a first target vehicle positioned ahead of the carrier vehicle in a lane, comprising:
-
means for receiving a signal from a rangefinder, the signal indicating a change from the first target vehicle to a second target vehicle positioned ahead of the carrier vehicle; means for receiving a signal from a line departure warning device, the signal corresponding to information concerning crossing of a marking line on the ground by the carrier vehicle; and processing means arranged to manage the speed regulation as a function of the received signal, the processing means being configured to deactivate the regulation system when the signal received from the line departure warning device indicates that the carrier vehicle crossed the line; and comparing, via the regulation system, relative speed and distance values between the second target vehicle and the carrier vehicle when the signal received from the line departure warning device indicates that the second target vehicle is inserted in the lane between the carrier vehicle and the first target vehicle.
