Control engineering

Holding a set speed automatically

In automotive control engineering, cruise control is a feedback system that holds a vehicle at a driver-set speed by adjusting throttle against disturbances like hills, and adaptive cruise control additionally regulates the gap to the car ahead. Liang and Peng's 1999 Optimal adaptive cruise control with guaranteed string stability designs such a controller so that speed and spacing errors do not amplify down a line of vehicles. The referent is a regulator that maintains a setpoint, measured by tracking error and stability margins. It is a different construct from a timber sample or a flight phase, sharing only the word.[1]

Unit
The speed (and following gap) held against disturbances
Recovery means
Not applicable
Measured by
Assessed by speed-tracking error, gap regulation, and the string stability of a vehicle platoon
