Abstract
A method for providing a cruising speed recommendation to an operator of a vehicle includes determining a projected route; receiving route characteristic data including route elevation data; determining a sampling resolution; sampling the route elevation data at the sampling resolution to generate sampled route elevation data; determining at least one start of uphill position and at least one start of downhill position; determining at least one cruise speed route segment based at least in part on the at least one start of uphill position and the at least one start of downhill position; determining a corresponding cruising speed for the at least one cruise speed route segment based at least in part on one or more of the route elevation data and the sampled route elevation data; and communicating the corresponding cruising speed for the at least one cruise speed route segment.
