- 2. What Is Adaptive Cruise Control? •Adaptive cruise control (ACC) is a system designed to help vehicles maintain a safe following distance and stay within the speed limit. This system adjusts a car's speed automatically so drivers don't have to. •Adaptive cruise control is one of 20 terms used to describe its functions so that you might see adaptive cruise control as the following in advertisements and vehicle descriptions: • oActive cruise control • oDynamic cruise control • oRadar cruise control • oAutomatic cruise control
- 3. • ACC functions by sensory technology installed within vehicles such as cameras, lasers, and radar equipment, which creates an idea of how close one car is to another, or other objects on the roadway. For this reason, ACC is the basis for future car intelligence. • These sensory technologies allow the car to detect and warn the driver about potential forward collisions. When this happens, red lights begin to flash, and the phrase 'brake now!' appears on the dashboard to help the driver slow down. There might also be an audible warning
- 4. Types of Adaptive Cruise Control •Radar-Based Systems According to e-Info Chips,radar-based systemswork by placing radar- based sensors on or around plastic fasciasto detect your vehicle's surroundings. Each radar sensor works together to create a comprehensive picture of the vehicle's proximity to other cars or potentially hazardous objects. This type of sensor can look different depending on the design and model of the car. •Laser-Based Systems As mentioned byElectronic Design, this type of ACC system operates out of a large black box typicallyplaced in the grilleof your vehicle. It uses laser technology to detect the proximity of objects to your car. It does not operate well during rainstorms and other weather conditions.
- 5. •Multi-Sensor Systems According to Fierce Electronics, adaptive cruise control systems sometimes integrate more than one type of sensor to aid in a vehicle's operation. Multi-sensor systems incorporate several different sensor types to provide a driver with advanced information. These sensors mightinclude GPS data equipmentor cameras to gather information about a vehicle's geographic environment and proximity to other cars. •Predictive Systems As mentioned by Auto blog,prediction systemsare a type of ACC that uses sensory data to predict the actions of neighboring vehicles. This means that your car might slow down to brace for another vehicle suddenly switching lanes and, in doing so, promotes passenger safety. • Adaptive cruise control is evolving each year. Car companies are continuously making adjustments to this technology and, in doing so, creating more common and affordable options that can be purchased with a new car or added to older car models, making driving safer for everyday people.
- 6. Advantages of Adaptive Cruise Control • Some key advantages of adaptive cruise control mentioned by MyCarDoesWhat.org include an increase in road safety, as cars with this technology will keep the adequate spacing between them and other vehicles. These space-mindful features will also help prevent accidents that result from an obstructed view or close following distance. Similarly, ACC will help maximize traffic flow because of its spatial awareness. As a driver, you don't have to worry about your speed, and instead, you can focus on what is going on around you.
- 7. Limitations of Adaptive Cruise Control • Although there are many advantages to adaptive cruise control, there are still limitations to consider. One of the main faults in this system is the fact that it is not entirely autonomous. The driver of the vehicle still needs to practice safe driving habits that will work in tandem with this technology to produce the best results. Similarly, adverse weather conditions like snow, rain, or fog might confuse the system's sensors, as well as environmental factors such as driving through tunnels.
