What is the function of cruise control?
1 Answers
Cruise control system is also known as constant speed cruising device, speed control system, or autonomous driving system. Its function is: after setting the desired speed and switching it on, the vehicle automatically maintains the speed without the need to press the accelerator pedal, allowing the car to travel at a fixed speed. With the advancement of automotive technology, more and more cable-type throttle control methods are being rapidly replaced by electronic throttle control methods. Cable-type cruise control mainly consists of a control switch, control module (cruise computer), and servo (mechanical actuator). The working principle of the cruise control system, simply put, involves the cruise control module reading the pulse signal from the speed sensor and comparing it with the set speed, then issuing commands to the servo to mechanically adjust the throttle opening to increase or decrease, ensuring the vehicle maintains the set speed.
