Intelligent speed control system for electric vehicle

Abstract

An important topic nowadays is to have cars and roads that provide comfort and safety. Mechatronics systems are used to have this approach. The brake system is now base on an electronic stability system, the steering system is partly or fully automated and the speed is control by the cruise control system. The new target for the automotive industry is to create a car able to decide by itself on all actions related to safety and comfort - a fully automated vehicle. One of the most important innovations for autonomous driving is drive by the idea of connected cars: car2car and car2infrastructure. In the present paper, it is analysed a cruise control system based on communication technology. A simple prototype is build up using Arduino and modules for communication. To calibrate and parametrize the system, we use a Simulink model.
