(JP10234102-A)      The system comprises a signal output device which detects (11,12,13) and generates signals regarding vehicle speed and power consumption, and a cruise control selection of an operating vehicle. A controller (41) controls the general operation of the vehicle according to various detected information and established map data.    A power generator generates drive electric energy. A drive device processes the drive energy of the power generator and makes adjustments of the vehicle operation according to the signals from the controller. A vehicle speed sensor detects key information to set cruise control, vehicle speed information and energy consumption and inputs resultant signals to the controller.    USE -   Relates to compound cruise control system for solar cars in which consumption of electric energy and vehicle speed are simultaneously controlled at optimum levels of efficiency when cruise control is selected.    ADVANTAGE -   Eliminates motor overload and increases life of drive efficiency.
