A Coordinating Apparatus and Method is provided between Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) and Predictive Cruise Control (PCC). The ACC system is configured to provide a target acceleration or deceleration based on maintaining a target distance from vehicles ahead. The PCC system is configured to provide a target acceleration or deceleration based on upcoming changes in elevation and maximizing fuel economy. The coordinating apparatus communicates with the ACC system and with the PCC system, and applies the lesser acceleration or greater deceleration between the ACC target acceleration or deceleration and the PCC target acceleration or deceleration. The apparatus and method may apply the target acceleration or deceleration by way of a vehicle speed control apparatus, such as a vehicle engine controller.
