Adaptive cruise control (ACC) allows a vehicle's cruise control system to adapt its speed based on surrounding traffic. A radar system detects slower vehicles ahead and the ACC system will slow the vehicle down to maintain a safe following distance without driver intervention. ACC operates via engine and brake control to speed up or slow down as needed. It aims to reduce driver burden and prevent accidents by maintaining a set distance between vehicles. Future work may include improving response to mode changes, CPU utilization, and experiments with real-time communication and merging ACC with lane changing capabilities.

Adaptive Cruise Control System Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is an automotive feature that allows a vehicle's cruise control system to adapt the vehicle's speed to the traffic environment. A radar system attached to the front of the vehicle is used to detect whether slower moving vehicles are in the ACC vehicle's path. If a slower moving vehicle is detected, the ACC system will slow the vehicle down and control the clearance, or time gap, between the ACC vehicle and the forward vehicle. If the system detects that the forward vehicle is no longer in the ACC vehicle's path, the ACC system will accelerate the vehicle back to its set cruise control speed. This operation allows the ACC vehicle to autonomously slow down and speed up with traffic without intervention from the driver. The method by which the ACC vehicle's speed is controlled is via engine throttle control and limited brake operation.
Why ACC? The main feature of such controllers is that there is adaptation to a user-preset speed and, if necessary, speed reduction to keep a safe distance from the vehicle ahead in the same lane of the road.
Four distance settings accommodate a range of driving styles and road conditions. The driver can set distance, speed and the time gap between vehicles. With speed settings as low as 20 mph, the driver can set the system to work as well during normal commuting as it does on the highway. Offers three programmable alert time settings ranging from approximately 1.5 to 2.5 seconds.
ACC have been devoted to solve problem such as driver burden reduction, accident prevention,
ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
.
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) An enhancement to a conventional cruise
control system which allows the ACC vehicle to follow a forward vehicle at an appropriate distance.
ACC vehicle The subject vehicle equipped with the ACC system. Active brake control A function which causes application of the brakes without driver application of the brake pedal.
Clearance Distance from the forward vehicle's trailing surface to the ACC vehicle's leading surface.
Forward vehicle Any one of the vehicles in front of and moving in the same direction and traveling on the same roadway as the ACC vehicle.
Set speed The desired cruise control travel speed set by the driver and is the maximum desired speed of the vehicle while under ACC control.
System states ACC off state Direct access to the 'ACC active' state is disabled. ACC standby state System is ready for activation by the driver. ACC active state The ACC system is in active control of the vehicle's speed. ACC speed control state A substate of 'ACC active' state in which no forward vehicles are present such that the ACC system is controlling vehicle speed to the 'set speed' as is typical with conventional cruise control systems.
ACC time gap control state A substate of 'ACC active' state in which time gap, or headway, between the ACC vehicle and the target vehicle is being controlled.
FUTURE WORKS Effect of mode-change delay Improve in CPU utilization LeadDist, RoD values
Periodicity of tasks, data update rate Chattering b/w SC-NC Mode Switching More experiments to evaluate the design.
Implementing two-level repository on Real Time Data Base. Is printer port good enough or need for RT- COMMUNICATION (TTP/TTCAN/CAN).
Merging with Lane Changing. Inter-Vehicle communication.
