Abstract
A vehicle can be configured to learn deceleration areas by acquiring vehicle deceleration data for deceleration areas encountered by the vehicle. However, there may be certain instances in which it may not be beneficial to acquire deceleration data for use in learning the deceleration area. For instance, if it is determined both that the proceeding link for the first deceleration area matches the preceding link for the second deceleration area and that the first deceleration area and the second deceleration area are located in close proximity to each other, the learning of the second deceleration area can be disabled. As a result, a deceleration record is not saved for that particular encounter of the second deceleration area.
