Design of Autonomous Cruise Control Unit for Intelligent Vehicles
Autonomous Cruise Control or Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is an optional control system used in road vehicles. It reduces the driving burden on the driver as it automatically adjusts the vehicle speed to maintain a safe distance from vehicles ahead and avoids collisions. ACC is on the leading edge of various trends that will eventually lead to self driving cars. This paper deals with the design of PID based Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) Unit used in Vehicular Automation. The simulation of the Controller block has been carried out on MATLAB Simulink platform.
