Abstract

Intelligent Vehicle (IV) is one of the technology that improving capabilities of a modern vehicles. Advanced sensing, communications, and computing promise to allow vehicles to operate automatically, to avoid collisions, and to prevent or deal with injuries when a crash does occur. Recently, there has been an increase in the practical application of ACC (adaptive cruise control), which measure the following distance to the preceding vehicle by radar and automatically maintain an appropriate following distance, and Lane Recognition systems, which recognize lane using vision sensors and keep the vehicle from deviating from the lane. Current systems are based on the premise of highway driving, but in the future, these systems will come to be used on regular roads as well, in pursuit of even greater safety and comfort. Just for this, this project will simulate the IV technology into a small scale IV model to understand more about the Intelligent Vehicle. The purpose of this research was to develop a scale model platform for the rapid prototyping and testing of IV systems and technologies. Specifically, this body of work was concerned with the development of an automatic headway control system that utilized ultrasonic sensors. This control system was intended to automatically maintain headway distance in an effort to create an adaptive cruise control system for scale model vehicle. Implementation of such systems could conceivably reduce driver fatigue by removing the burden of maintaining safe following distance from the driver.
