Abstract
A vehicle system, apparatus, and/or method is provided. The vehicle system includes a powertrain including a prime mover and a transmission, and an electronic control system in operative communication with the powertrain including an adaptive cruise control (ACC) controller. The electronic control system is configured to determine a speed profile for a vehicle-in-front of the vehicle system while operating the vehicle system along a route. In response to the speed profile for the vehicle-in-front, the electronic control system is further configured to modify one or more output parameters of the powertrain to control one or more of a vehicle speed, a vehicle acceleration, and a vehicle deceleration of the vehicle system to inhibit control of the one or more output parameters by the ACC controller.
