This document discusses cruise control and adaptive cruise control systems for vehicles. It begins with an introduction and outlines for cruise control and adaptive cruise control modeling and simulation. It then provides details on cruise control system components, modeling, and design specifications. Next, it covers adaptive cruise control background, functioning, modeling for highway merging situations, and two types of adaptive cruise control systems. It concludes with simulations comparing the acceleration and distance responses of adaptive cruise control and regular cruise control systems in a highway merging scenario.
