Data-based vehicle adaptive cruise control: A review

Based on the conventional cruise control, vehicle adaptive cruise control (ACC) measures the distance and the relative velocity to the preceding vehicle real time via distance sensor, computes appropriate control output with respect to throttle or brake pedal, and control the velocity or headway automatically. Under the basically security guarantee, ACC could improve the comfort and reduce fuel consumption. This paper comprehensively investigates the theory and technology for ACC of last decades. We conclude the main approach of modeling, control and optimization of ACC, and note that data-based ACC system which conforms driver character and habit has been a new trend.
