ABSTRACT:
An adaptive cruise control system and a method for controlling the velocity of a host motor vehicle. An object detecting device is capable of simultaneously detecting several target objects. A separate control order is generated for each detected target object for influencing engine controls and brake controls of the host vehicle to control the velocity of the host vehicle. Control orders generated for several simultaneously detected target objects are then compared and the most restrictive control order among these is selected. At least one control signal based on the selected control order is then sent to at least one of the engine controls and the brake controls of the host vehicle to control the velocity of the host vehicle in accordance with the selected control order.
