A Vehicle Control Algorithm For Stop-and-Go Cruise Control System

This paper describes a vehicle speed & vehicle-to-vehicle distance control algorithm for vehicle stop-and-go cruise control. So first, a complete dynamic model of car has been simulated that consists of an SI engine, automatic transmission. The vehicle longitudinal control scheme consists of a speed control algorithm and a distance control algorithm and throttle-brake control law. A desired acceleration for the vehicle has been designed using linear quadratic optimal control theory. It has been shown that the proposed control law provides good performance.
