Scania Cruise Control
I guess this function has been around. Some of my own opinions,
no check about the ffacts. pls kindly correct me.
first thing i wonder is who invented cruise contro, Scania or
Mercedes??
For Scania i heard of Cruise Control in 2003 only. When my
fren xplained how a Cruise Control function keeps the bus at a
constant speed pre selected by the Scania bus driver.
1) Cruise control keeps engine running at optimal settings at
the set speed by drvier
2) may save fuel
3) driver cna relax. a bit at the controls. (less feet stress)
heh.
For Scania Coach (the EB and IB series), it is called
optic Cruise.
I have heard that the cruise controle xists on Scania k230UB, i
guess mr 1688 saw it in pure action.
---------------
As a comparison to Scania i read up on Mercedes benz Trevago
coach Cruise Control.
some amzing technology is sued, besdies the basic crusie ontrol
functions and abilities stated above, the Merc also has
Lane control.
This keeps the bujus in lane along a highway. For super long
distances. Optic cameras observe bus lane makers and auto stablise
the bus inside the highway lane. Particualrly safety feature is
when the driver nods off and bus sways , the lane control will sway
the bus back into the lane.
Distance relaated cruise control
as mentioned above, what if a car slows down in front, again
optic cameras snese this slowing down of traffic and adjust bus
speed to slow down. then when traffic picks up, the cruise control
will auto adjust back to the set speed (usually very high like
90km/h)
Suspect:
Sscania optic Cruise sues optic camera tecnology as well.
again who invented thse things first?
merc or Scania..
anyone know?
ZYX
MAN installed cruise control on all SAF MAN 16.284
LAERC 5-Ton when it was delivered in year 2001, . so might not just
between Scania and Merc. Does SBS8031J installed with cruise
control?
Cheers.
