THE PREDICTIVE CRUISE CONTROL

Open publisher page 1 citations

Abstract

Predictive Cruise Control (PCC) is a system that enhances and works in combination with the existing Conventional Cruise Control. Based on a predictive algorithm and elevation information captured in a 3D map, PCC allows the vehicle speed to vary around the cruise control set speed within a defined speed band in an effort to reduce fuel consumption. As fuel consumption is a major portion of a truck's life cycle costs (LCC) and cruise control is used extensively in NAFTA regions, PCC can significantly reduce the truck's LCC.
