MODELING AND SIMULATING THE DYNAMICS OF AN ADAPTIVE THROTTLE SYSTEM ON AN AUTOMOBILE

Abstract

Currently, with the rapid development of science and technology, research
and application of information technology, electronics, and automation in
various automotive features, such as warning systems and automatic distance-
keeping with vehicles in front, automatic throttle control, have become essential
for enhancing safety and convenience for drivers. This article discusses an
adaptive cruise control system aimed at monitoring the distance with the vehicle
ahead. This system allows for the automatic control of the throttle by electronic
control signals instead of manual pedal operation. In the research, a predictive
control model (MPC) is utilized within the Matlab/Simulink software to simulate
the control process of the research model.
