Design of Adaptive Cruise Controller: with Stop & Go Scenarios

The main aim of the project is to design model based approach for Adaptive Cruise Control system which works efficiently under the STOP & GO scenarios. A significant number of accidents could be avoided through timely threat recognition and appropriate actions of collision avoidance. This may be achieved by suitable warning to the driver or by automatic support to longitudinal or lateral control of vehicle. The Adaptive Cruise Controller (ACC) is mainly a comforting system that helps in controlling the speed of the vehicle; at the same time it ensures the distance from the preceding vehicle is safer enough to avoid collision. But the driver remains responsible for steering. The speed can be decelerated/ accelerated in steps using the buttons available in the ACC. If deceleration of the ACC is not sufficient enough to avoid a collision, it warns the driver with a warning sound. All these are clearly drafted in the report and is presented with proper simulation results. Reader can go through the details and we are sure it would be a good reading.
