Intelligent Cruise Control System (ICC)

Outline
The Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC) system automatically maintains a selected distance from the vehicle ahead according to that vehicle's speed, or at the set speed, if the road ahead is clear.

With ICC, the same speed as other vehicles can be maintained without the constant need to adjust the operating speed as with a normal cruise control system.

Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC) / Components Description:

The system is intended to enhance the operation of the vehicle when following another vehicle in the same lane and direction.

If the distance sensor detects a slower moving vehicle ahead, the system will reduce speed so that the vehicle ahead can be followed at the selected distance.

Switch Operation:

ICC System Display Part 2:

The system automatically controls the throttle and applies the brakes (up to 25% of vehicle braking power) if necessary.

The detection range of the sensor is approximately 390 ft (120 m) ahead.

CAN Communication System
CAN (Controller Area Network) is a serial communication line for real time application. It is an on-vehicle multiplex communication line with high data communication speed and excellent error detection ability.

Many electric control units are equipped onto a vehicle, and each control unit shares information and links with other control units during operation (not independent).

In CAN communication, control units are connected with 2 communication lines (CAN H line, CAN L line) allowing a high rate of information transmission with less wiring.

Each control unit transmits/receives data but selectively reads required data only.
