 Detects the distance and speed of forward vehicles  Changes the cruise speed of the equipped vehicle  Touch screen user interface and information display Design an Adaptive Cruise Control System

Transparency  Easy to use  Small learning curve  Minimal attention required from user during operation  Robust and reliable  Functions reliably and accurately in varied weather and temperature conditions

Humility  Human fallibility – operator  Reduces risk for highway drivers  Human fallibility – designer  Peer review  Safety backups in design

Stewardship  Increased fuel economy  Improve on existing cruise control systems  Reduce sharp acceleration and deceleration

Obtained TRW AC10 Radar  Detects distance and speed  150 meter range, 0.09 kph speed resolution  Four vehicle tracking  Yaw compensation

Communicating with devices:  Car – J1850 BUS  Radar – CAN BUS

Communicating with devices:  NeoVI and Altera DE2 board – USB

Developing system controller on DE2  Creating system flow diagrams  Refreshing knowledge of DE2  Creating test plan for controller

Test and create interfaces  Test radar and NeoVI interface  Test car and NeoVI interface  Create NeoVI and DE2 interface

Software to filter signals for NeoVI  From radar  From car Software to filter signals for DE2
