Can Adaptive Cruise Control Be Retrofitted?
1 Answers
Adaptive cruise control can be retrofitted, and its function is: when the distance between the car and the vehicle in front is too small, the ACC control unit coordinates with the anti-lock braking system and the engine control system to apply appropriate braking to the wheels and reduce the engine's output power, ensuring the vehicle maintains a safe distance from the vehicle ahead. The automatic control system includes a radar sensor, digital signal processor, and control module. Its working principle is: the system uses low-power radar or infrared beams to determine the exact position of the vehicle ahead. If the system detects that the vehicle ahead is slowing down or a new target is detected, it sends an execution signal to the engine or braking system to reduce the vehicle's speed, thereby maintaining a safe driving distance between the vehicle and the one ahead.
