Predictive Cruise Control (PCC) is a system that enhances and works in combination with the existing Conventional Cruise Control. Based on elevation information captured in a 3D map and a predictive algorithm, 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 the United States and Canada, PCC can significantly reduce the truck's LCC. PCC will be a future system, which will help to reduce the fuel consumption significantly while the truck is in cruise control. As the average usage time of cruise control for long-haul trucks is about 50% and higher, this is a large contribution to the reduction of overall fuel consumption. In addition to saving fuel, this system will help to reduce the overall life cycle costs of a truck, as fuel consumption directly corresponds to life cycle costs.
