Cruise Control Systems in Cars

ABSTRACT

Cruise control is a new technological development which incorporates a factor of comfort in driving. Safety is only a small benefit of this system. In short, cruise control can be said to be a system which uses the principles of radar to determine the distances between two consecutive moving vehicles in which either one or both of them is incorporated with this system. The electromagnetic rays from radar system are sensed by sensors in the vehicle which in turn rely commands to the throttle and brakes of the vehicle to perform according to the adjacent vehicle’s distance. So cruise control is a system which provides comfort to drivers during long monotonous drives.
