Research on adaptive cruise control (ACC) with Stop&Go maneuvers is presently one of the most important topics in the field of intelligent transportation systems. The main feature of such controllers is that there is adaptation to a user-preset speed and, if necessary, speed reduction to keep a safe distance from the vehicle ahead in the same lane of the road, whatever the speed. The extreme case is the stop and go operation in which the lead car stops and the vehicle at the rear must also do so. This paper presents the development of an ACC system and related experiments. The system input information is acquired by a real-time kinematic phase differential global positioning system (GPS) (i.e., centimetric GPS) and wireless local area network links. The outputs are the variables that control the pressure on the throttle and brake pedals, which is calculated by an onboard computer. In addition, the car control is based on fuzzy logic. The system has been installed in two mass-produced Citroe/spl uml/n Berlingo electric vans, in which all the actuators have been automated to achieve humanlike driving. The results from real experiments show that the unmanned vehicles behave very similarly to human-driven cars and are very adaptive to any kind of situation at a broad range of speeds, thus raising the safety of the driving and allowing cooperation with manually driven cars.
