Current cruise control technology requires unneeded driver interaction. With new technology we have the capability of providing more assistance to today’s driver. We at WREB systems have created a new type of cruise control system that tremendously reduces the tasks of the driver.

The adaptive cruise control system’s components are made up of millimeter wave radar technology interfaced with a Siemens 167 16-bit microcontroller. This all weather system is to assist the driver in common driving duties. The cruise control system retrieves data from the radar system and sends it to the microcontroller. Precise and accurate calculations are performed by the microcontroller that measure the speed and position of a leading vehicle relative to the host vehicle. With this information, the systems decides to slow the speed of the vehicle, increase the speed of the vehicle, stop the vehicle, or allow it to travel at the preset velocity.

The information found on this website highlights and explains important processes taken to design, implement and test the adaptive cruise control system. The information also gives explanation and general graphics of the hardware and software needed to build the components that make the system possible.
