Adaptive Cruise Control Systems and Their Influence on Traffic Flow

Adaptive cruise control (ACC) systems are currently being developed by automotive manufacturers for highway vehicle automation [3],[4]. An ACC system enhances regular cruise control by using an on-board radar to maintain a desired spacing from a preceding vehicle that has been detected in the same lane on the highway. The firstgeneration ACC systems are currently available in Japan and Europe a...

The influence of cruise control and adaptive cruise control on driving behaviour--a driving simulator study.

Although Cruise Control (CC) is available for most cars, no studies have been found which examine how this automation system influences driving behaviour. However, a relatively large number of studies have examined Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) which compared to CC includes also a distance control. Besides positive effects with regard to a better compliance to speed limits, there are also indic...

Vehicle Trajectory Impacts of Adaptive Cruise Control

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is assumed to have a potential to improve quality-of-service and safety and to reduce the environmental impact of the road traffic system. This paper use vehicle trajectories from traffic simulation to study impacts of ACC on vehicle acceleration and deceleration rates. The analysis is based on traffic simulations with car-following models including ACC functionali...
