Simulation of Automatic Speed Control in Motor Vehicles (Cruise Control) Using Simulink PID Controller

Abstract

An adaptive control system is an advanced method for controlling the speed of a moving motorized vehicle. Using this intelligent control system, the driver can easily control the speed of the car according to his wishes or the prevailing situation. The adaptive control system consists of a sensor attached to a moving vehicle which then registers the speed of the car and provides input to the processing unit. The controller is designed according to the force exerted by the car to drive a certain distance in a certain time. This time, the control uses a PID controller. This method is followed for various tunings of Kp, Ki, and Kd values for the P, PI, PID, and IPD structures for a cruise control system using MATLAB. The PID used in this experiment is intended to control the speed to make it more stable and optimal.
