Abstract
Methods, systems, and computer program products are provided for control of a combustion engine in a vehicle. At least one future speed profile for an actual speed of the vehicle during a road section is simulated based on information about the road section, and that coasting will be applied during the road section. An applicability for coasting during the road section is evaluated. Subsequently, it is evaluated whether the combustion engine may be shut down during a coasting for at least a part of the road section. The evaluation of the shutdown of the combustion engine is based on whether one or several system conditions for engine shutdown have been met, on one or several properties for one or several brake systems in the vehicle, and on a shutdown period, when the combustion engine could be shut down. The combustion engine is then controlled based on this evaluation.
