AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Existing low-speed cruise control systems for vehicles fail to maintain momentum and occupant comfort when the driver manually overrides the speed, particularly on high-drag surfaces like sand, leading to undesirable reductions in vehicle speed.
Method used
A control system that determines occupant comfort levels based on time-averaged movement data, ignoring excitation information during the override period to maintain target vehicle speed and momentum.
Benefits of technology
Prevents undesirable reductions in vehicle speed after the override period, ensuring smooth progression over challenging terrain by maintaining momentum and occupant comfort.
