  • Predictive vehicle pulse and glide control
    Patent number: 9592830
    Abstract: Disclosed are a method and a control system adapted to making it possible to use, or prolong a use of, a higher transmission mode in a vehicle. The control system comprises a simulation unit configured for simulating at least one future speed profile for an actual speed for the vehicle along a section of road ahead of the vehicle, which simulation is conducted at a time when the section of road is still ahead of the vehicle, and is based on information related to a gradient of the section of road. The system further comprises an evaluation unit configured for evaluating whether a raising of an actual speed for the vehicle is appropriate to achieving the making possible or prolongation, which evaluation is based on the simulation of at least one future speed profile, and a use unit configured for using the evaluation during control of the actual speed.
