A control system and method are described for controlling a vehicle stop-start system having a stop stage in which an engine of a host vehicle is automatically stopped and a start stage in which the host vehicle engine is automatically restarted after the stop stage. The control system includes an interface configured to receive an input signal including traffic condition information, wherein the input signal includes a vehicle-to-x communication signal or a sensor signal from a host vehicle sensor adaptable to monitor a traffic condition. The control system also includes a controller configured to generate a control signal operative to automatically initiate the start stage of the vehicle stop-start system based on a determination that the traffic condition information of the input signal indicates an impending change in a traffic condition.
