  3. Cruise control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cruise_control

    The driver must manually bring the vehicle up to speed and use a button to set the cruise control to the current speed. The cruise control takes its speed signal from a rotating driveshaft, speedometer cable, wheel speed sensor from the engine's RPM, or internal speed pulses produced electronically by the vehicle. Most systems do not allow the ...

  4. 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 ...

    It has been shown that ACC systems designed to maintain a fixed following distance will not be string stable. [1] ACC systems designed to maintain a fixed following time may or may not be string stable. CACC addresses this problem, and in either case may improve stability, by reducing the delay of the response to the preceding vehicle.

  9. Wheel speed sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheel_speed_sensor

    This correction enables a larger maximum permissible air gap at the speed sensor. On a module m = 1 target wheel these new sensors can tolerate an air gap of 1.4 mm, which is wider than that for conventional speed sensors on module m = 2 target wheels. On a module m = 2 target wheel the new speed sensors can tolerate gap of as much as 2.2 mm.
