General information
Ever more congested roads and thus
frequent changes in driving speed are
making the use of conventional cruise
control practically impossible. The driver
is forever having to adjust the set cruis-
ing speed or is forced to reactivate it
continually due to repeated brake applic-
ations.
Distance cruise control has been intro-
duced to relieve the strain on the driver,
especially in long periods of heavy, slow
or stop/start traffic. In conjunction with
the brake system, it supplements the
integrated continuous braking function
equipped as standard.
Distance cruise control uses a radar
sensor to detect traffic up to 200 m in
front of the bus. The system monitors
the distance to the vehicle in front and
records the difference in speed at which
this vehicle is driving. Any changes are
evaluated accordingly.
Through integration into the complete
vehicle electronics network, it has been
possible to develop an automatic control
system that adapts the distance from
the vehicle in front by acceleration and
deceleration without any input from the
driver.
Activation conditions/function
principle
Distance cruise control regulates the
speed of the bus and assists the driver
by automatically maintaining a specified
distance from a vehicle detected in front.
If no vehicle is driving in front, distance
cruise control functions like drive cruise
control in the speed range between 15
and 100 km/h. As soon as a vehicle is
detected in front, it becomes functional
in the speed range from 15 to 100 km/h
