Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control

Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control (CACC) is an advanced driver assistance system that maintains a safe distance from the vehicle ahead by automatically adjusting speed. Unlike traditional cruise control, CACC uses vehicle-to-vehicle communication to share real-time information about speed and position, allowing synchronized and precise acceleration or braking. This coordination improves traffic flow, reduces congestion, and enhances safety by minimizing sudden stops or collisions. It’s particularly useful in highway driving, enabling vehicles to operate closely together efficiently and smoothly, creating a safer, more coordinated driving environment.
