A congestion-based adaptive cruise control (ACC) system for a vehicle. A processor may provide control signals for the vehicle to modify at least one of acceleration, deceleration and braking in the vehicle. A radar sensor arrangement, operatively coupled to the processor, is configured to determine (i) a distance value for a front vehicle based on a front vehicle velocity, and (ii) a distance value for a rear vehicle based on a rear vehicle velocity. The processor may be configured to process (i) and (ii) from the radar sensor arrangement to determine a velocity value for the vehicle, and generate at least one control signal based on the velocity value to alter the velocity of the vehicle using at least one of acceleration, deceleration and braking to position the vehicle substantially at a mid-point between the front vehicle and rear vehicle.
