ABSTRACT:
An adaptive cruise system for a vehicle maintains a desired selected operator-set speed in the absence of a detected preceding target vehicle and adjusts the vehicle speed when a target vehicle is detected to maintain a following distance that is set by the vehicle operator. An alert distance is computed that is a predetermined function of a distance based on driver reaction time. To provide for the driver selectable trailing distance, the driver reaction term of the alert distance is adjusted by the vehicle operator to achieve a desired distance to the target vehicle.
