Main Project Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
General Overview:
Adaptive Cruise Control Feature for passenger cars allows the host vehicle to adapt to the speed in line with the flow of traffic. Driving in heavy traffic or keeping a safe distance to the preceding vehicle calls for a high level of concentration. The Adaptive Cruise Control feature can reduce the stress on the driver by automatically controlling the vehicle speed & maintaining a predefined minimum distance to the preceding vehicle. As a consequence, the driver enjoys more comfort & can concentrate on the road a little better.
A radar sensor is usually at the core of the Adaptive Cruise Control. Installed at the front of the vehicle, the system permanently monitors the road ahead. As long as the road ahead is clear, the cruise control feature maintains the speed set by the driver. If the system spots a slower vehicle within its detection range, it gently reduces speed by releasing the accelerator or actively engaging the brake control system. If the vehicle ahead speeds up or changes lanes, the cruise control automatically accelerates to the driver’s desired speed.
Standard Adaptive Cruise Control can be activated from speeds of around 30 km/h (20 mph) upwards and supports the driver, primarily on cross-country journeys or on freeways. The cruise control stops & go variant is also active at speeds below 30 km/h (20 mph). It can maintain the set distance to the preceding vehicle even at very low speeds and can decelerate to a complete standstill. When the vehicle remains stopped longer, the driver needs only to reactivate the system, for example by briefly stepping on the gas pedal to return to cruise control mode. In this way, cruise control stops & go supports the driver even in heavy traffic and traffic jams.
Since Adaptive Cruise Control is a comfort and convenience system, brake interventions and vehicle acceleration only take place within defined limits. Even with Adaptive Cruise Control switched on, it remains the driver’s responsibility to monitor the speed and distance from the vehicle in front.

1. Procedure:
As per the Requirement document, implemented the Adaptive Cruise Control feature.
Lead vehicle
• To detect the lead vehicle speed, simply added both the radar & camera inputs & the corresponding output is read as Speed profile output.
Drive Vehicle
To regulate the "Drive Vehicle speed, as per the Requirement Document added Cameralnput. Radarinput & Acceleration Mode feedback from ACC Algorithm.
• To detect the Lead vehicle. Radarinput is converted using "Signal Conversion Block
• To avoid the algebraic error "Unit delay block is used for the Acceleration Mode feedback.
ACC Algorithm
• Adaptive Cruise Control feature has 3 major modes of operation: OFF Mode. STANDBY Mode & ON Mode. This particular requirement has to be implemented as state machine logic in Simulink
• The input signals to the state machine system are (Signal Name Time Gap. Set Speed Set Gap, CruiseSwitch SetSwitch) Also, the output signals (Signal Name DriveVehicle Speed & LeadVehicle Detected) from requirement-2 is fed back as an input signal into this state machine block
• Additionally, the output signal (Signal Name LeadVehicle Speed) from requirement-1 is given as an input signal to this state machine
• Output from this subsystem a signal (Signal Name Acceleration Model which governs the vehicular speed of the drive vehicle which automatically adjust to speed & velocity to match the lead vehicle.
• The rest of the signal developed as per the Requirement
2. DEVELOPMENT OF MATLAB MODEL
This is the main model subsystem that having 9 inputs CameraInput_LeadVehicle, RadarInput_LeadVehicle, CameraInput_DriveVehicle, RadarInput_DriveVehi, Time_Gap, Set_Speed, Set_Gap, CruiseSwitch and SetSwitch entering into the Adaptive Cruise Control subsystem and 4 outputs Acceleration_Mode, LeadVehicle_Speed, DriveVehicle_Speed, LeadVehicle_Detected
There are 3 requirements are designed in 2 subsystems and one state machine flow chart
Requirement 1– Lead Vehicle:
Requirement 2 – Drive Vehicle:
Requirement 3 – Adaptive Cruise Control Algorithm:
Requirement 3a – ACC OFF MODE state logic:
Requirement 3b – ACC STANDBY MODE state logic:
Requirement 3c – ACC ON MODE state logic:
This state will be activated when the input signal SetSwitch is equal to 1. There are 6 sub-states to this state logic: They are:
Requirement 3c (i) – LeadVehicle_Detected_Follow (ACC ON MODE):
Requirement 3c (ii) – LeadVehicle_Not_Detected (ACC ON MODE):
Requirement 3c (iii) – LeadVehicle_Detected_Resume (ACC ON MODE):
Requirement 3c (iv) - LeadVehicle_Not_Detected_Resume (ACC ON MODE):
Requirement 3c (v) - LeadVehicle_Speed_lessthan_Set_Speed (ACC ON MODE):
Requirement 3c (vi) - LeadVehicle_Speed_equal_Set_Speed (ACC ON MODE):
3. Requirement Tagging and Tracebility report
all the requirements are tagged for better understandability, anyone who is reviewing the model or who is trying to update the model can get a clear idea of what logic is used in the system. from the requirement manager, we can see what are all are tagged and the description.
Traceability report
I am only sharing 2 or 3 snapshots of the report here but the whole report is attached below
4. Developing SLDD
all the inputs, outputs, calibration parameters are saved in SLDD so while simulation the model takes all the values and its parameters from the Simulink Data Dictionary
5. Signal Resolution for inputs and outputs
the inputs and output signals are resolved so the signals will take the values from sldd and pass them to the logical blocks. Otherwise, it may take some junk values if it is unresolved
6. Model Update.
The model update is done by Ctrl-D. this is done to check for any static errors. If no errors are coming the model is working fine without any errors.
7. Simulation
The model is simulated too for checking for errors and warnings
8. Configuration Parameter Update
Various configuration parameters are updated as per the code generation the solver type should be fixed for code generation
9. Model Advisory Report
By running the model advisor tool, we can see commonly made modelling errors.
10. Code generation
Build a model for generating code
