An automated cruise control system is disclosed. Sensors detect driving parameters associated with the ground vehicle as the ground vehicle maneuvers along a segment of the roadway. A ground vehicle control detector detects ground vehicle control inputs associated with an operation of the ground vehicle. The ground vehicle control inputs are generated from a longitudinal operation of the ground vehicle. A energy consumption cruise controller automatically adjusts the operation of the ground vehicle as the ground vehicle maneuvers along the segment of the roadway to maintain the operation of the ground vehicle within an operation threshold based on the detected driving parameters and ground vehicle control inputs. The operation threshold is the operation of the ground vehicle that decreases an amount of overall energy consumed by the ground vehicle and maintains a longitudinal speed of the ground vehicle within a longitudinal speed threshold.
