Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control (CACC) Final Report

The objectives of the Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control (CACC) project are to investigate extension of Adaptive Cruise Control systems for longitudinal control using V2V/V2I communication to coordinate a string of vehicles to improve traffic flow. The feasibility of implementing CACC using Dedicated Short Range Communication (DSRC) and to frame the future research work needed to move the concept toward potential implementation is examined. From a literature review of past and on-going CACC work, a broad, high-level research plan was developed to identify the potential benefits, opportunities, safety issues, technical gaps, and challenges in deploying CACC systems. In addition, a more focused set of recommendations assessing the potential for production implementation of CACC in future vehicles were developed along with prototype and small-scale test plans for a follow-on research project to explore implementation issues in a structured fashion.
