Generating Fuzzy Rules for the Acceleration Control of an Adaptive Cruise Control System

Abstract

A procedure for the data driven generation of fuzzy rules is described, which was used in the development of an adaptive fuzzy controller to assist the driver in vehicle speed and distance control. The driver stays remains in the control loop of the ACC (Adaptive Cruise Control) through haptical feedback via the accelerator pedal. Thus, the control of the pedal behavior is crucial for the system’s acceptance by the driver. The Fuzzy-ACC has been installed into a test car and was tested in normal road traffic. 1
