Throttle/Brake Combined Control for Vehicle-to-vehicle Distance and Speed Control

찻간 속도/거리제어를 위한 구동력/제동력 통합제어

A throttle/brake control law for the intelligent cruise control(ICC) systems has been proposed in this paper. The ICC system consists of a vehicle detection sensor, the control algorithm and a throttle/brake actuators. The control performance has been investigated through vehicle tests. The test vehicle is equipped with a MMW radar sensor, a solenoid-valve-controlled Electronic-Vacuum-Booster(EVB) and a step-motor controlled throttle actuator. The results indicate the proposed throttle/brake control laws can provide satisfactory vehicle-to-vehicle distance and velocity control performance.
