碩士 === 國立臺北科技大學 === 車輛工程系碩士班 === 91 === This study focuses on a vehicle following system for the purpose of maintaining an optimal car-following distance by monitoring the distance between two cars. This system is able to control vehicle velocity effectively to achieve the objective of car following in a straight line. As soon as environment of the system changes, (such as the preceding vehicle suddenly speeds up, slows down or vehicle load suddenly changes including changes of road slope, wind velocity and roadway resistance), the system could immediately accelerate or decelerate the vehicle to change the following distance between vehicles. Once a vehicle equipped with car-following system is too close to the vehicle in front, it could adjust vehicle speed accordingly and maintain an optimal safety distance. Besides, this system continuously monitors the variations of road friction. Therefore, a vehicle equipped with car-following system is capable to keep optimal drivability even driving on roads with different frictions.
