Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
Case Study
Reference: Embedded Systems: Architecture,
Programming and Design by Raj Kamal
, Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
• Automotive feature that allows a vehicle’s cruise
control system to adapt the vehicle’s speed to the
traffic environment
• A radar system is utilized to sense the presence and
position of other vehicles
• ACC allows automatic slow down and speed up with
traffic conditions, without intervention from the driver
• Vehicle speed is controlled by engine throttle control
and brake operation
• String stability – maintaining inter car distance constant
