Design and Simulation of the Speed Response of an Automobile Cruise Control System

Abstract

Automobile accidents are becoming more common as a result of individuals driving at excessive speeds. It lost countless lives and expensive possessions because of simple mistakes made when navigating around the school zones, slopes, and highways. One of the biggest obstacles the modern car industry faces is the need for a safe and controlled cruise control system. The design and modeling of automobile cruise control systems using Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) controllers, closed-loop, and open-loop designs were the principal topics of this study. The most useful controller for automatically maintaining a car's speed among the three is PID. The system's primary focus is inter-distance control on highways, where vehicle velocity mostly stays constant. It also handles traffic in towns where there are a lot of pauses and accelerations. The objectives of comfort and safety are to be met in both cases. Using a PID control system, the system's improvement aims to regulate vehicle speed and prevent collisions. The speed at which cars travel can be monitored and controlled. MATLAB/SIMULINK software was used to carry out the simulation.
