Abstract
A vehicle control system includes a forward vehicle sensor transmitting a forward vehicle message based on a distance to a forward vehicle. An adaptive cruise controller receives the forward vehicle message and receives at least one additional message indicating a respective status of the vehicle, the adaptive cruise controller sets a braking pressure for an adaptive cruise controller braking event above a default braking pressure if the adaptive cruise controller determines, based on the at least one of the additional messages, that the vehicle will maintain stability during the adaptive cruise controller braking event.
Claims10
A vehicle control system, comprising:
- at least one vehicle sensor measuring a respective status of the vehicle and transmitting a respective message based on the status;
- and
- an adaptive cruise controller receiving the message and setting a braking pressure for an adaptive cruise controller braking event above a default braking pressure based on the message.
A method for adjusting a braking pressure for an adaptive cruise controller braking event, the method comprising:
- receiving at least one message, indicating a status of a host vehicle, by an adaptive cruise controller from a respective host vehicle sensor;
- and
- adjusting a braking pressure for an adaptive cruise controller braking event above a default braking pressure based on the message.
