Honda to introduce world's first predictive cruise control system
11 Jan 2015|3,884 views
Based on extensive real-world research of typical European driving styles, Honda's i-ACC uses a camera and radar to sense the position of other vehicles on the road. It then applies an algorithm to predict the likelihood of vehicles in neighbouring lanes cutting-in by evaluating relations between multiple vehicles, enabling the equipped vehicle to react quickly, safely and comfortably.
The new i-ACC system is able to compute the likelihood of a cut-in up to five seconds before it occurs, and is therefore designed to react very smoothly so as not to startle the driver, who might not yet be aware of the imminent cut-in. In this case the system applies just a mild brake initially, with an icon appearing on the driver display , informing the driver why a slow-down occurs.. It then proceeds to apply a stronger brake to adapt the velocity to keep a safe distance.
i-ACC recognises the side of the road you are driving on whether in the U.K. or on the continent and automatically detects which neighbouring vehicle is the most critical to be aware of at any given moment.
i-ACC is the result of an in-house Research & Development project undertaken by an international Honda team in Europe and Japan, specifically designed for European roads. Research into driver behaviour to develop the algorithm was carried out across Europe.
The world's first predictive cruise control system, known as Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control (i-ACC), has been introduced by Honda and is capable of foreseeing and automatically reacting to other vehicles 'cutting-in' to the equipped vehicle's lane.
Based on extensive real-world research of typical European driving styles, Honda's i-ACC uses a camera and radar to sense the position of other vehicles on the road. It then applies an algorithm to predict the likelihood of vehicles in neighbouring lanes cutting-in by evaluating relations between multiple vehicles, enabling the equipped vehicle to react quickly, safely and comfortably.
