CRONE Cruise Control System

This paper deals with vehicle longitudinal control performed by a cruise control (CC) system using the CRONE approach. A comparison between this approach, a classical proportional-integral (PI) controller, and an H-infini (Hinf) controller is presented. Simulations with these controllers are performed considering a complex vehicle model obtained from simulator software taking mass uncertainties, aerodynamic drag, gravity, and wind forces into account. This model also accounts for wheel dynamics with tire-road interactions that allow the analysis of the adherence effect. Results show better robustness to uncertainties with the second-generation CRONE controller, as already demonstrated with the CRONE suspension system and the CRONE ABS system.
