System and method for vehicle control

A system, comprising:

• a control circuit configured to determine a combined fuel consumption value for a first vehicle and a second vehicle that are both intended to travel through a common location, based at least in part on first vehicle fuel consumption value that is associated with the first vehicle, and second vehicle fuel consumption value that is associated with the second vehicle, the combined fuel consumption comprising:
• a moving fuel consumption value for moving through the common location;
• and
• an idling fuel consumption value for idling at the common location;
• and
• the control circuit being further configured to direct one or the other of the first vehicle or the second vehicle to idle at or near the common location based at least in part on a determined collective fuel consumption value for both the first vehicle and the second vehicle.

A method, comprising:

• determining which of a first vehicle and a second vehicle will have priority to move through a common location on a route based at least in part on a predicted first vehicle fuel consumption value for a first vehicle to traverse a route toward and through a common location, and a predicted second vehicle fuel consumption value for the second vehicle to traverse the route toward and through the common location;
• and the predicted fuel consumption amount is based at least in part on:
• a moving fuel consumption amount for moving the first and second vehicle through the common location;
• and
• an idling fuel consumption amount for idling the first and second vehicles at the common location for the period where the other vehicle traverses the common location.
