| Abstract | In this thesis, an adaptive cruise control system is developed and implemented in the AIT intelligent vehicle which is Mitsubishi Galant 1993. To develop the adaptive cruise control system, the original throttle control and breaking system of the vehicle have been studied. The original throttle which is a mechanical system is modified to the drive-by-wire system by using a dc servo motor with a servo position control algorithm. An additional breaking system is installed in the vehicle by using a dc servo motor to directly control the break pedal. A proportional and derivative control algorithm is proposed to perform the cruise control mode. For adaptive cruise control mode, a fuzzy logic algorithm is adopted. Inputs which are a distant error and relative velocity for the fuzzy controller are from the laser range finder SICK LMS291. The practical experiment which is done on a racing circuit is to adjust fuzzy rules so that the vehicle can perform adaptive cruise control function like being controlled by humans. |
