Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method is described comprising modulating vehicle speed about a target speed by operating a vehicle with an engine at high output and then operating the vehicle with the engine off, and adjusting operation of a suspension system based on the vehicle operation with the engine at high output and the engine off to control vehicle pitch during the modulating of vehicle speed about the target speed.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A method, comprising: modulating a vehicle speed about a target speed during cruise control operation by repeatedly operating one or more engine cylinders to increase the vehicle speed, and then deactivating one or more engine cylinders to reduce the vehicle speed, via a control system; and adjusting a vehicle suspension system based on the cylinder operation to control vehicle pitch during the vehicle speed modulation. 2. The m…
