Right now because the technology is expensive and not available to small production run companies like bus manufacuters.

Soon the sysems will be durrable enough to work trouble free for the target 1 million miles (1.6 milion km ) and the price will come down to an afordable level.

Then the system will be seen as an option n highway busses and heavy trucks.

What is meant by active cruise control?

It's the advanced version of cruise control used to prevent rear end collisions on interstates. Many luxury cars have this which is also known as adaptive cruise control - most all have the stop/go feature too.


What is adaptive control?

Adaptive control involves modifying the control law used by a controller to cope with the fact that the parameters of the system being controlled are slowly time-varying or uncertain. For example, as an aircraft flies, its mass will slowly decrease as a result of fuel consumption; we need a control law that adapts itself to such changing conditions. Adaptive control is different from robust control in the sense that it does not need a priori information about the bounds on these uncertain or time-varying parameters; robust control guarantees that if the changes are within given bounds the control law need not be changed, while adaptive control is precisely concerned with control law changes.


Can cruise control be dangerous?

Cruise control could be dangerous if used on wet/slippery roads or in heavy traffic.


Why does the cruise control light stay on when the vehicle when it's running?

The cruise control light remains on while the vehicle is running because the system is engaged and ready to maintain a set speed. If the light is illuminated but the system isn't actively controlling speed, it may indicate a malfunction or an error in the cruise control system. Always refer to the vehicle's manual for specific troubleshooting steps or seek professional assistance if the light persists without the system being used.


Why is my cruise control intermittenly working on my motor home which is on a E350 chassisAbs light is on also and the Abs module on rear end has been replced?

My cruise control used to go out every time it rained. It finally died. There was no relationship to the ABS system.


What does the speed sensor do on a Honda Accord?

It tells the computer how fast you're going. The data it produces is used by the speedometer and the cruise control system.


Where is the speed control amplifier on a 1999 Ford Taurus?

This later model should have an incorporated cruise system. Meaning there is no engine vaccume used to work the cruise. Instead a computer/cable system is used (the amplifier will be incorporated in this unit). You can tell the difference between the two by looking for vaccume lines.


What are the disturbance feedback in control system?

Disturbance feedback in control systems refer to the mechanisms used to minimize the impact of external disturbances on the system's output. This can involve implementing compensation techniques, filtering, or adaptive control strategies to maintain desired performance despite disturbances. The goal is to improve the system's stability and robustness to external influences.


Can cruise control be used while towing?

It can but I would advise against it.


How come the cruise control blinks and does not engage on a Nissan Xterra?

Read the manual, but I believe it says when the cruise light blinks there is an error with the cruise control and should be checked. I have had mine blink before and then the next time I used it, it was fine.


What is the principle of centrifugal governor?

It uses the principle of proportional control.A proportional control system is a type of linear feedback control system. Two classic mechanical examples are the toilet bowl float proportioning valve and the fly-ball governor. The proportional control system is more complex than an on-off control system like a thermostat, but simpler than a proportional-integral-derivative (PID) control system used in something like an automobile cruise control.


Where is the cruise control relay located on 2001 Chrysler sebring?
