What is the Function of the Active Cruise Control System?
1 Answers
The function of the active cruise control system is to replace the driver in controlling the vehicle speed, avoiding frequent cancellation and setting of cruise control, making the cruise system suitable for more road conditions. The active cruise control system is similar to traditional cruise control, also known as the adaptive cruise control system. The system includes radar sensors, digital signal processors, and control modules. The driver sets the desired speed, and the system uses low-power radar or infrared beams to obtain the exact position of the vehicle ahead. If it detects that the vehicle ahead is slowing down or a new target is detected, the system sends an execution signal to the engine or braking system to reduce the speed, maintaining a safe driving distance between the vehicles. When there is no vehicle ahead, the system accelerates to restore the set speed, and the radar system automatically monitors the next target.
