IS4S Awarded Phase I SBIR for a Cruise Control Enhancement

Auburn, AL 

TARDEC awarded IS4S a Phase I SBIR to produce a cruise control enhancement (CCE) for tactical wheeled vehicles or commercial heavy trucks. This CCE will improve fuel efficiency of either single vehicles within a convoy, or the convoy as a whole by between 3% to 5%. The CCE parameters will be tunable to adapt to a variety of vehicle types and tactical environments. This technology has applications on commercial trucks in addition to Army tactical wheeled vehicles. The CCE algorithms are applicable in commercial or DoD scenarios. In addition, this technology works equally well on human operated vehicles or various levels of autonomous ground vehicles.
