What is Adaptive Cruise Control and Cruise Control?
1 Answers
Adaptive Cruise Control and Cruise Control are introduced in detail as follows: Cruise Control: After setting the speed as required by the driver, the vehicle automatically maintains the speed without the need to press the accelerator pedal, allowing the car to travel at a fixed speed. With this system, drivers no longer need to control the accelerator pedal during long highway drives, reducing fatigue and unnecessary speed fluctuations, which can save fuel. Adaptive Cruise Control: Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is an intelligent automatic control system. During driving, a distance sensor (radar) installed at the front of the vehicle continuously scans the road ahead, while wheel speed sensors collect speed signals. When the distance to the vehicle ahead becomes too small, the ACC control unit coordinates with the anti-lock braking system and engine control system to apply appropriate braking and reduce engine power, ensuring the vehicle maintains a safe distance from the car in front.
