A vehicle velocity control arrangement (1) is provided configured to control vehicle velocity of a host vehicle (3). The arrangement (1) comprises a processing unit (11) arranged to compare a position of the host vehicle (3) with data representative of geographical road segments (4.1-4.4) comprised in a database (9.1, 9.2) to determine from the database (9.1, 9.2) a current geographical road segment (4.1). The processing unit (11) further is arranged to process historic vehicle velocity profiles associated with the current geographical road segment (4.1) to generate a host vehicle velocity control signal therefrom. The vehicle velocity control arrangement (1) further comprises a vehicle velocity regulator (13) arranged to regulate vehicle velocity of the host vehicle (3) using the generated host vehicle velocity control signal. The present invention also relates to a vehicle (3) comprising a vehicle velocity control arrangement (1) and a method of controlling vehicle velocity of a host vehicle (3) using a vehicle velocity control arrangement (1).
