First Claim
Patent Images
1. A control system comprising:
- a controller configured to receive input indicative at least of vehicle acceleration, vehicle deceleration and vehicle speed, and output at least one cruising speed score based upon the input when vehicle acceleration is below an acceleration threshold and vehicle deceleration is below a deceleration threshold; and
an interface communicating with the controller and configured to display a cruising speed feedback indicator indicative of the at least one cruising speed score.

Abstract
One or more embodiments of the present application may provide a system and method for monitoring driver inputs and vehicle parameters, assessing a driver'"'"'s cruising speed behavior, and providing short-term and/or long-term feedback to the driver relating to the driver'"'"'s cruising speed behavior. The cruising speed behavior feedback can be used to coach future cruising speed behavior that may translate into better long-term driving habits, which in turn may lead to improvements in fuel economy or vehicle range. Moreover, the cruising speed behavior feedback can be adapted to a driver based upon how responsive the driver is to the feedback.

18. A display control system comprising:
-
a controller configured to receive input indicative of vehicle acceleration, vehicle deceleration and vehicle speed, generate an instantaneous cruising speed score based on the input when vehicle acceleration is below an acceleration threshold and vehicle deceleration is below a deceleration threshold, and provide a cruising speed feedback signal corresponding to a long-term cruising speed score based upon the instantaneous cruising speed score; and a display in communication with the controller and including a cruising speed feedback gauge configured to display a cruising speed feedback indicator indicative of the long-term cruising speed score. - View Dependent Claims (19)
