Bosch's system Eco.Logic motion creates a three-dimensional image of the surroundings based on a digital map that also includes information on gradients and bends. This image combined with precise data about the vehicle's location obtained via GPS (Global Positioning System) is used to calculate a preview of the vehicle's surroundings — referred to as the "electronic horizon" - that goes far beyond such near-field sensor technology as radar or video sensors.Based on the information gleaned from the dynamic electronic horizon and from the comparison with current vehicle parameters, the application software simulates an environmentally friendly driving strategy. For this purpose, it calculates a suitable speed and an appropriate gear selection for the route section ahead. This information is then compared with current parameters and is transmitted to the vehicle's powertrain as instructions that are followed by the engine and transmission control units, thus enabling the vehicle, for instance, to accelerate when most appropriate or avoid unnecessary gear changes shortly before the crest of a hill.
