  2. Indy Autonomous Challenge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indy_Autonomous_Challenge

    As a successor of the DARPA Grand Challenge, [9] the IAC aimed to provide a challenging environment for the development of autonomous vehicles. University teams were invited to develop software [10] for solving the autonomous driving task, in the challenging environment of a racetrack, constrained by IAC rules through 2024 that limit only one or two cars to be on the race track at a time, [1 ...

  3. Assured clear distance ahead - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assured_Clear_Distance_Ahead

    While most experienced drivers develop a broad intuition required by everyday braking, [142] this rule of thumb can still benefit some to recalibrate expectations for rare hard braking, particularly from high speeds. Additional simple corrections can be made to compensate for the environment and driving ability.

  4. Idle air control actuator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idle_air_control_actuator

    The IAC allows the ECU to maintain minimum RPM irrespective of changes in engine load, sometimes referred to as anti-stall feature. Thus the driver can more easily move the car from stand-still by merely releasing the clutch (manual transmission) or the brake (automatic transmission) without having to simultaneously press the accelerator.

  5. ETOPS - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ETOPS

    In November 2009, the Airbus A330 became the first aircraft to receive ETOPS-240 approval, which has since been offered by Airbus as an option. [9] ETOPS-240 and beyond are now permitted [10] on a case-by-case basis, with regulatory bodies in the United States, Australia, and New Zealand adopting said regulatory extension. Authority is only ...

  6. International Advisory Council - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Advisory_Council

    The International Advisory Council (IAC) rules the International Teletraffic Congress (ITC). ITC was created in 1955 by Arne Jensen [ 1 ] to initially cater to the emerging need to understand and model traffic in telephone networks using stochastic methodologies , and to bring together researchers with these considerations as a common theme.

  7. Adaptive cruise control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adaptive_cruise_control

    Adaptive cruise control does not provide full autonomy: the system only provides some help to the driver, but does not drive the car by itself. [3] For example, the driver is able to set the cruise control to 55mph, if the car while traveling that speed catches up to another vehicle going only 45mph, the ACC will cause the car to automatically brake and maintain a safe distance behind the ...

  8. International Association of Classification Societies - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Association...

    IACS is a non-commercial, technical collaboration association to establish, review, develop, and promote minimum technical requirements in relation to the design, construction, maintenance and survey of ships and other marine related facilities and to assist international regulatory bodies in the development and interpretation of statutory regulations to help ensure their universal and uniform ...

  9. International Aerobatic Club - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Aerobatic_Club

    The IAC was founded in 1970 [1] as an evolution of the EAA's "Precision Flying Division" to provide an organized method for advancing aerobatic skills via a "building block" competition system. [2] It is responsible for pilot selection of Advanced and Unlimited Power, and Advanced Glider, aerobatic teams that represent the U.S. at World ...
