Adaptive Cruise Control

Overview

ACC or adaptive cruise control makes use of cameras or radar to trace the speed and distance of the vehicle that is in front. 

After this, with such a technology does the automatic adjustment of the speed of your EV. By this, the electric vehicle maintains the following distance[ 2 to 7 meters in general].

Adaptive cruise control technology makes use of the laser, and radar apart from systems of binocular computer vision. 

Such a technology also makes use of front-end cameras or a fusion of such technologies. 

How does it work?

Adaptive cruise control works by making use of multiple sensors. These sensors are in and around the EMV. With this, you are able to see other vehicles on the road. 

When a vehicle gets too close to your EMV, the ACC determines this action. It gives a signal to you to change the scenario. You are able to slow down or alter the scenario. 

The adaptive cruise control slows down automatically if someone going ahead of you slows down. With this technology, driving on the highway becomes a simple task. Apart from that, the annoying factor in driving finishes. 

This has become a powerful technology. It is also considered among the most powerful technologies. 

Features of adaptive cruise control

Some  of the features of adaptive cruise control are mentioned below:

• With the adaptive cruise control, you can maintain a safe following distance. 
• By maintaining a safe following distance, you stay in the range of the speed limit. 
• With this feature, there is an automatic adjustment of the speed of the EMV. 
• If you are driving in stop-and-go traffic, this is a highly beneficial technology. 
• You reduce the amount of work, especially on the long and straight roads or highways. 

Applications of ACC on electric vehicles

The adaptive cruise control applies to both the layer control loops. It regulates the current as far as the inner loop is concerned. 

It also does the expected speed tracking for the outer loop. You can illustrate the improvement in performance with the help of the defined control energy. 

ACC also compensates for slip-stick transition at the time of engagement of the clutch. By all these methods, it offer smooth motion control on all major EMVs including TESLA. 

Conclusion

Adaptive cruise control is a suitable choice for the EMV on the expressways. The adaptive cruise control system adapts to multiple operating conditions of the EMV. 

The safety of the EMV is of paramount importance. Even if you buy an EMV of a higher price because of this facility, it will work for your greater good. 

Not all the EMVs carry this technology but there are certain versions of multiple EV brands in the market offering you such a facility.
