Realisation of an intelligent cruise control system utilizing classification of distance, relative speed and vehicle speed information

An intelligent cruise control system based on access to the conventional cruise control system as well as to the automatic transmission ECU has been realized. The system is characterized by different states (e.g. acceleration, hold speed, deceleration). For state control classified and weighted values of distance, relative speed and vehicle speed information are used. Control strategy therefore is very similar to fuzzy control. Practical results showed high system stability.
