Abstract
A system for dynamically maintaining a vehicle speed during a change in road grade comprises a first sensor configured to detect a depression amount of an accelerator pedal and a second sensor configured to monitor the vehicle speed. The system further comprises a vehicle speed control module configured to: receive an indication that the accelerator pedal is depressed; receive an indication of the vehicle speed; determine that the pedal has been depressed within a threshold amount for a threshold time period; determine that the vehicle speed has been maintained within a threshold for the threshold time period; determine whether the change in the road grade is less than a threshold grade; and, based on a determination that the change in the road grade is less than the threshold, automatically adjust a load on a power source of the vehicle to maintain the vehicle speed during the change in road grade.
