Influence on the dynamics in conjunction with a navigation system

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 BMW 760Li. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

If the Active Cruise Control is coupled with a navigation system, this may have an influence on the dynamics. (Only possible in combination of CCC with the Professional navigation system option 609.)

Navigation systems provide additional information, such as the course of the road and the road category.

The road category is split up as follows:

Motorways and well finished fast roads
(faster acceleration)
Main roads and highways
(average acceleration)
Urban driving
(reduced acceleration)

On motorways and well finished fast roads, Active Cruise Control is expected to be highly dynamic. In other words, faster acceleration if the driving mode changes from following a car ahead to clear road ahead. The set speed is adjusted quickly.

On main roads and highways, Active Cruise Control is expected to be averagely dynamic. In other words, comfortable acceleration if the driving mode changes from following a car ahead to clear road ahead. The set speed is adjusted with an average acceleration behavior.

During urban driving, a reserved dynamic is expected of the Active Cruise Control. In other words, reduced acceleration behavior if the driving mode changes from following a car ahead to clear road ahead. The set speed is adjusted moderately.

The often difficult traffic situations during urban driving make reduced acceleration behavior necessary.

In addition, the number of bends on the road ahead is analyzed and the dynamic of the Active Cruise Control adjusted accordingly.
