The technological advancements of embedded system and electronics within the vehicle are being driven by the challenge to make the vehicle safer, more energy efficient and networked. Implementation of Automotive tasks has become easier with various advancement in software and hardware design modules. These Automotive tasks are implemented on a controller called ECU. Heart of any ECU is a Flash-...

We comparatively assess the influence of adaptive cruise control (ACC) and cooperative adaptive cruise control (CACC) systems on highway traffic flow characteristics, with highway merging as an example. The primary goal is to study the design and implementation of vehicle-vehicle/roadside-vehicle communication system, which enhances an ACC system to a CACC one. In addition, the impact of market...

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...

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 ...

This research paper deals with the design of adaptive cruise control (ACC) which was implemented on a passenger car using PID controller. An important feature of the newly based adaptive cruise control system is that, its ability to manage a competent inter-vehicle gap based on the speed of host vehicle and headway. There are three major inputs to the ACC system, that is, speed of host vehicle ...

A vehicle driving with an Adaptive Cruise Control System (ACC) is usually controlled decentrally, based on the information of radar systems and in some publications based on C2X-Communication (CACC) to guarantee stable platoons. In this paper we present a Model Predictive Control (MPC) design of a centralized, server-based ACC-System, whereby the vehicular platoon is modeled and controlled as a...
