INTRODUCTION
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) adapts the vehicle's speed to the
traffic environment. Radar system attached to the front of the vehicle is used to detect slower moving vehicles that are in the ACC vehicle's path. The system 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. Accidents can be reduced up to a great extent.

 Adaptive Cruise Control tries to maintain:

Safe Distance when there is a leading vehicle

Set Speed when there is no leading vehicle in its path

Adaptive Cruise Control

Change gear automatically Function properly in poor weather condition The radar range is 120-150mts Effective in the speed between 30km-180km/h

BASIC EQUATION
CLEARANCE : distance from the forward vehicles trailing
surface to the ACC vehicles leading surface.
the target vehicle.

TIME GAP :the time interval between the ACC vehicle and

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 the active control of the vehicle while under ACC control.

TWO MODES OF OPERATION

ACC SPEED CONTROL MODE During this mode there is no vehicle present within the time gap or clearance of the system. Set speed is maintained. The engine control system controls the engine output via throttle control to maintain the vehicle speed at the target speed ACC TIME GAP CONTROL MODE The ACC system enter into this mode if the radar detects a forward vehicle at or within the clearance distance. Set distance is maintained The ACC system sends a target speed to the Engine Control Module and deceleration commands to the Brake Control Module.

COLLISION WARNING

Warning issued at different levels

Accidents avoided due to the use of radar and image analysis

Give assistance while taking curved paths

PARKING ASSISTANCE

Self-parking systems have different ways of sensing the objects around the car.

The sensors transmit signals to detect objects.

The car thus detects the other parked cars, the size of the parking space and the distance to the curb, then steers it into the space.

Screen mounted on the dashboard gives the driver notifications such when to stop, when to shift into reverse, and when to slowly ease off the brake to move the car into the parking spot

LANE ASSISTANCE

Gives warning when the vehicle moves out of lane

CONCLUSION
Reduces the rate of accidents Reduces driver fatigue

Increases fuel efficiency due to gradual increase and decrease in traffic speed
Cost of the system is slowly decreasing
