Abstract
Method and apparatus for a vehicle cruise control, particularly concerning a school bus, which includes collecting information on the school bus and a road environment positioned around nearby vehicle, monitoring position, velocity and moving direction of the school bus, and state of surrounding road. If the school bus is stopped relatively near the front of the nearby vehicle, the method continues by determining whether or not the vehicle is stopped by comparing the collected school bus information and the road environment information with a predefined cruise regulation based on the school bus, and guiding the driver to stop as well as controlling the vehicle to stop depending on the determination result.
