PREDICTIVE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL

Abstract:

Systems and methods for predictive adaptive cruise control of a plurality of vehicles traveling in succession. A system engages in a vehicle-to-vehicle communication session with one or more vehicles of the plurality of vehicles. During the communication session, terrain information is obtained and first speed trajectory information is determined for an upcoming segment of road. Second speed trajectory information is received from a first adjacent vehicle of the plurality of vehicles. Third speed trajectory information is generated based on the second speed trajectory information received and the terrain information. The operation of the vehicle is controlled during the upcoming segment according to the third speed trajectory information.
