Arrangement for controlling movement of a vehicle 100 (figure 1). The arrangement comprises processing means 10 configured to receive 601 first signals from a receiving means 202 in dependence on received transmitted signals from a remote control device 200 indicating a requested motion of a vehicle 100. The processing means 10 then receives 603 angle signals, from an angle sensing means, indicative of one or both of a roll angle and a pitch angle of the vehicle. The processing means 10 then determines 605 a maximum speed value for the vehicle in dependence on one or both of the roll angle and the pitch angle, and provides 607 an output signal for controlling speed of the vehicle based on the requested motion. The output signal is limited dependent upon the maximum speed value. The processing means 10 is configured to provide an output signal to cause the parking brake of the vehicle to be applied and the vehicle transmission to be put into park mode in dependence on the maximum speed value being determined to be zero. The invention may allow an operator to carry out a task outside the vehicle, such as opening and closing a gate.
