The invention discloses a cruise control test system based on an automobile intelligent detection platform, which comprises an HIL hardware platform and a controller system rack. The controller systemrack comprises a controller ECU, and an instrument panel, a steering wheel, an accelerator pedal, a brake pedal, a clutch pedal, a power supply, a brake switch, a clutch switch, a simulation vehiclespeed motor, a direct current motor, a Hall sensor and a position sensor which are connected with the controller ECU, and the controller ECU is connected with the HIL hardware platform. The Hall sensor is fixed above the simulated vehicle speed motor rotating shaft magnet and used for measuring the rotating speed of the simulated vehicle speed motor to replace the actual vehicle speed. The position sensor is used for detecting the position information of the throttle valve and transmitting a signal to the controller ECU; the controller ECU is used for receiving signals of the cruise control switch, the Hall sensor and the position sensor on the steering wheel and outputting control signals to drive the direct-current motor to adjust the opening degree of the throttle valve. The design is not only high in test precision, but also high in test automation degree.
