Abstract

Adaptive cruise control (ACC) has reached a new quality in driver assistance. For the first time, a large part of the driver’s tasks can be assigned to an automatic system and the driver relieved to a substantial degree. Based on cruise control, ACC adjusts the vehicle speed to the surrounding traffic. It accelerates and decelerates automatically when a preceding vehicle is traveling at less than the speed desired by the driver.
ACC is a key functional innovation and represents a new system architecture with a high degree of function distribution. The different operating modes and system states are described along with function limits and transition conditions.
From the many elements of this overall function, target selection and longitudinal control are addressed in detail because of the special challenges they present. Target selection is based on the actual road curvature being determined by the ESC sensor signals that describe the driving dynamics, of which several options are assessed. Predicting and selecting a suitably shaped corridor is explained using an example. Major sources of error for the individual steps, their severity, and possible countermeasures are described.
The prerequisite for vehicle-following-distance control is the selection of a target. An example shows that the basic control principle is simple, but it conflicts with comfort and convoy stability. Details of additional control functions in curve situations and approaches are provided.
The driver perspective is addressed in terms of control and display functions and in terms of satisfaction as ascertained by use and acceptance studies, also taking into account an extended driver familiarization phase.
