Cruise control system cruise control is a speed control system that maintains a desired vehicle speed under normal driving conditions. The objective of any control system is to change the dynamics of the given system to be able to achieve a desired response. A simple but not necessarily good way to design a pi controller is to choose the parameters of the pi controller as. Adaptive cruise control systems for vehicle modeling. You should see the following output, providing both statespace and transfer function models of the system. String stability analysis of adaptive cruise controlled. Without cruise control, long road trips would be more tiring, for the driver at least, and those of us suffering from leadfoot syndrome would probably get a lot more speeding tickets. The system consists of a control module, speed sensor, servo, control switch assembly, vacuum storage canister, check valve and release system.
