What Does Cruise Control Mean?
1 Answers
The cruise control system (CRUISE-CONTROL-SYSTEM), abbreviated as CCS, is also known as a speed control device, speed control system, or autonomous driving system. Its function is to automatically maintain the vehicle speed as set by the driver without the need to press the accelerator pedal, allowing the car to travel at a fixed speed. More details are as follows: 1. Due to advancements in automotive technology, traditional cable-operated throttle control methods are rapidly being replaced by electronic throttle control systems. Cable-operated cruise control mainly consists of a control switch, control module (cruise computer), and servo (mechanical actuator). 2. The working principle of the cruise control system is simple: the cruise control module reads the pulse signal from the speed sensor and compares it with the set speed, then issues commands to the servo to mechanically adjust the throttle opening, increasing or decreasing it to maintain the set speed. Electronic multifunction cruise control eliminates the mechanical control part of the cable-operated system, relying entirely on precise electronic control for more accurate operation and avoiding the risk of mechanical failure.
