Predictive Systems: Cruise Control Road Vehicles

Autonomous cruise control uses sensors like radar or laser to automatically adjust a vehicle's speed to maintain a safe distance from the car in front. It slows down when approaching another vehicle and speeds up when traffic allows. Cooperative adaptive cruise control further extends this automation by sharing information between vehicles using technologies like satellites, roadside beacons, or transmitters on other vehicles. Autonomous cruise control improves safety and traffic flow by helping drivers maintain optimal separation and reducing errors.

Autonomous cruise control (ACC; also called adaptive cruise control, radar cruise control,

or traffic-aware cruise control) is an optional cruise control system for road vehicles that
automatically adjusts the vehicle speed to maintain a safe distance from vehicles ahead.

Control is based on sensor information from on-board sensors. (No existing system makes use of
satellite or roadside infrastructures nor of cooperative support from other vehicles.) Cooperative
Adaptive Cruise Control (CACC) further extends the automation of navigation by using
information gathered from fixed infrastructure such as satellites and roadside beacons, or mobile
infrastructure such as reflectors or transmitters on the back of other vehicles. [citation needed]

They use either a radar or laser sensor setup allowing the vehicle to slow when approaching
another vehicle ahead and accelerate when traffic allows.

ACC technology is widely regarded as a key component of any future generations of intelligent
cars. They impact driver safety and convenience as well as increasing capacity of roads by
maintaining optimal separation between vehicles and reducing driver errors.

Predictive systems[edit]
Predict systems modify speed based on predictions of other vehicles' behavior. Such systems
can make earlier, more moderate adjustments to the predicted behavior, improving safety and
passenger comfort. One example is to predict the likelihood of a vehicle in a neighbouring lane
moving in front of the controlled vehicle. One system predicts a lane change up to five seconds
before it occurs.
