Adaptive fuzzy control for driver assistance in car-following

Abstract

Abstract. An adaptive fuzzy logic controller is described which assists the driver in vehicle speed and distance control by offering a driving strategy via an active accelerator and brake pedal. In order to be accepted by the driver, the behavior of the system called ACC (Adaptive Cruise Control) has to meet the expectations of the human driver to a certain degree. The Fuzzy-ACC provides separate controller components for different driving situations. Each of these components covers a variety of behaviors which is used for the driver adaptation. The Fuzzy-ACC has been implemented in an experimental vehicle and was tested in normal road traffic
