A methodology for designing an automated vehicle longitudinal velocity and distance controller is presented and applied to an automobile. Typically a vehicle is described by velocity dependend dynamics and specific nonlinearities. Therefore the controller consists of a three layer structure. In the first layer a linearization of the nonlinearities is done in order to achieve a simplified structure for controller design purposes. With respect to changes in the typical vehicle parameters - mass and aerodynamical drag- an adaptive controller structure is used and these parameters are estimated by a recursive least squares algorithm. Based on classical controlling techniques a linear acceleration controller is developed in the middle layer. Up to now no mathematical equations are available describing the subjective demands of the driver and passengers during longitudinal motion. Therefore a fuzzy controller is applied in the upper layer. This controller based on the linguistic description of comfort demands. The complete structure is used in two different series fabricated vehicles and experimental results are shown for highway traffic as well as for stop-go traffic on highway congestions.
