Car-Following Characteristics of Adaptive Cruise Control from Empirical Data

Adaptive Cruise Control of a Passenger Car Using Hybrid of Sliding Mode Control and Fuzzy Logic Control

This paper focuses on the design of adaptive cruise control (ACC) which was implemented on a passenger car based on sliding mode control (SMC) of throttle valve combining with fuzzy logic control of brake pedal. An important feature of the new adaptive cruise control system is the ability to maintain a proper inter-vehicle gap based on the speed of host vehicle and headway way. There are three ...

Vehicle Trajectory Impacts of Adaptive Cruise Control

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is assumed to have a potential to improve quality-of-service and safety and to reduce the environmental impact of the road traffic system. This paper use vehicle trajectories from traffic simulation to study impacts of ACC on vehicle acceleration and deceleration rates. The analysis is based on traffic simulations with car-following models including ACC functionali...

Adaptive Fuzzy Control for Driver Assistance in Car-Following

An adaptive fuzzy logic controller is described which assists the driver in vehicle speed and distance control by offering a driving strategy via an active accelerator and brake pedal. In order to be accepted by the driver, the behavior of the system called ACC (Adaptive Cruise Control) has to meet the expectations of the human driver to a certain degree. The Fuzzy-ACC provides separate control...
