Research Status and Development Trend of Vehicle Adaptive Cruise Control Systems

Abstract:

As the upgraded system of traditional cruise control, the adaptive cruise control (ACC) system can improve the driving comfort and safety. The development stages of ACC system were explicated in this paper. The latest research achievements of ACC system in recent years were discussed in detail from the aspects of environmental perception, tracking behavior of driver, vehicle dynamic modeling, ACC system control algorithm, and function extension of ACC. Based on these achievements, the common problems of ACC were summarized and some viewpoints on the trend of the future developments were given.
