Intelligent Cruise Control for Dangerous Landscape by using GPS

Abstract

The various positioning application meets strict needs such as car navigation, mapping, surveying, security, agriculture and so on. An Intelligent Cruise control system is simulated and demonstrated using GPS as the only sensor for position and heading. The key idea offered by this paper is to use GPS sensor for warning signals placed in the dangerous portions of the road. The warning system is built on GPS sensor with real time kinematics (RTK) functionality. It means that the receiver must be able to receive RTK corrections. This system consists of three components: a GPS receiver with RTK (Real Time Kinematics) function and a computer with software that evaluates the position of the cruise compare to the road model and issues warning if the cruise is outside or is heading outside the correct lane and warning to determine authorized speed in its zone of localization. With real-time information, the system can dynamically control the speed and direction of the cruise in real world and also predict road’s incidents of the near future.
