A method includes determining a distance remaining from a current vehicle location to a traffic control signal and determining a recommended speed over the distance remaining that will cause the vehicle to reach the traffic control signal at a time when the signal permits travel. The method includes obtaining traffic data indicating the presence of traffic between the present location and the signal and predicting movement patterns and timing of traffic indicated by the traffic data, and adjusting the recommended speed to accommodate the predicted movement patterns and timing of traffic, to preserve vehicle momentum in light of changes to travel required by the predicted movement patterns and timing. The method additionally includes displaying the recommended speed and continuing at least the determining the distance, determining the recommended speed and displaying the recommended speed until the vehicle either stops or reaches the traffic control signal.
