摘      要：The paper presents the results of a field experiment that was designed to compare manual driving,conventional cruise control(CCC)driving,and Eco-cruise control(ECC)driving with regard to fuel *** field experiment was conducted on five test vehicles along a section of Interstate 81 that was comprised of±4%uphill and downhill grade *** an Onboard Diagnostic II reader,instantaneous fuel consumption rates and other driving parameters were collected with and without the CCC system *** collected data were compared with regard to fuel economy,throttle control,and travel *** results demonstrate that CCC enhances vehicle fuel economy by 3.3 percent on average relative to manual driving,however this difference was not found to be statistically significant at a 5 percent significance *** results demonstrate that CCC driving is more efficient on downhill versus uphill *** addition,the study demonstrates that an ECC system can produce fuel savings ranging between 8 and 16 percent with increases in travel times ranging between 3 and 6 *** benefits appear to be largest for heavier vehicles(SUVs).
