Vehicle Longitudinal Control (Equipment Packages*)

This equipment package provides longitudinal control of a vehicle to allow "feet off" driving, automating the function of speed control, acceleration, and braking to maintain safe following distances. It includes on-board systems that detect obstacles or vehicles in the longitudinal path of the vehicle. This sensor information is processed on board the vehicle, and appropriate control actions (acceleration, braking, or maintaining speed) are initiated using accelerator and/or brake actuators.
