Abstract :
A vehicle-to-vehicle distance control algorithm for stop-and-go cruise control has been proposed. The control algorithm consists of a distance control algorithm and throttle/brake control algorithm for acceleration tracking. A vehicle desired acceleration for vehicle-to-vehicle distance control has been designed using linear quadratic optimal control theory. Performance of the control algorithm has been investigated via computer simulations. It has been shown that the proposed control algorithm can provide satisfactory performance
