چکیده

This paper describes a framework for assessing the system safety impacts of an Adaptive or Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC) system. This framework incorporates a time-to-collision model that is developed from vehicle headway, speed, and acceleration data that are typically gathered as part of field operational tests. Specifically, the framework combines car-following models with vehicle deceleration and acceleration constraints to compute instantaneous rear-end time-tocollision estimates. These instantaneous time-to-collision estimates are then translated into an accident risk estimate that is accumulated over the entire trip. The proposed approach can be applied directly to field data that are typically gathered as part of field operational tests. In addition, the proposed approach can be easily incorporated within microscopic traffic simulation models.

Velocity tracking of cruise control system by using feedback linearization method

In cruise control systems, the performance of the controller is important. Hence, in order to have accurate results, the nonlinear behavior of a vehicle model should also be considered. In this article, a vehicle with a nonlinear model is controlled by using a nonlinear method. The nonlinear term of the model is the generated torque of engine, which is a polynomial equation. In addition, feedba...

Adaptive Cruise Control Systems and Their Influence on Traffic Flow

Adaptive cruise control (ACC) systems are currently being developed by automotive manufacturers for highway vehicle automation [3],[4]. An ACC system enhances regular cruise control by using an on-board radar to maintain a desired spacing from a preceding vehicle that has been detected in the same lane on the highway. The firstgeneration ACC systems are currently available in Japan and Europe a...
