Cruise control (also known as speed control, cruise command, autocruise, or tempomat) is a system that automatically controls the speed of an automobile. The system is a servomechanism that takes over the car's throttle to maintain a steady speed set by the driver.
This project used a communication stack based on the reference architecture of the Car-2-Car Communication Consortium, using IEEE 802.11a hardware at the physical layer. The Grand Cooperative Driving Challenge (GCDC) [ 2 ] in 2011 was an international challenge for teams from universities and industry to participate with a vehicle which could ...
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 ...
The combination of governed engine speed with foot throttle override is in many ways similar to a modern cruise control. In spite of this development, steering column mounted hand throttles remained common, especially in mass-produced cars such as the Ford Model T. [7] Later cars used both a foot pedal and a hand lever to set the minimum throttle.
The predecessor of modern electronic traction control systems can be found in high-torque, high-power rear-wheel-drive cars as a limited slip differential.A limited-slip differential is a purely mechanical system that transfers a relatively small amount of power to the non-slipping wheel, while still allowing some wheel spin to occur.
It is the terminology used in ISO 15622, and I have yet to meet anyone in the automotive industry who uses the word "autonomous" in this context. For an idea of common usage, a google search of "autonomous cruise control" returns 24,600 results, whereas "adaptive cruise control" returns 7,810,000 (7.8 million) results.
The city hall of Pleasant Hill was designed by architect Charles Moore. Completed in the late 20th century, it has won several awards for architectural design. For most of its history, Pleasant Hill did not have a true downtown or Main Street. In 1991, the city began planning the redevelopment of the area around the intersection of Monument and ...
The build reporting is designed to present the results of the CruiseControl build loop. It is based on a HTML report managed by a JSP page. The left side of the page displays whether CruiseControl is currently building a project, and provides links to the details of previous builds.
