This paper describes the development of an adaptive cruise control system, a driving assistant system, whose purpose is to control the vehicle’s speed, determined by a setpoint inputted by the driver. Simultaneously, the system must also monitor the environment and adjust the car’s velocity in order to maintain a safety distance from the other vehicles driving on the lane. This system’s main purpose is to increase the driver’s comfort, thus making it so he will no longer be required to control the throttle pedal and therefore be able to focus on the other tasks involved in driving.
