Control de velocidad basado en lógica borrosa para entornos urbanos congestionados

The adaptive cruise control systems are capable of adapting the speed to the precedent car in highways as long as the car does not stop. However, in urban areas where the traffic flow can cause stop and go maneuvers continuously, this system is not very useful due to the necessity of re-start it once the car is stopped. In this paper, a speed control based on fuzzy logic for continuous stop and go manoeuvres is presented where the speed car is up to ten kilometers per hour. The system has been tested with two Citroën C3 vehicles, one of them full automated, in the Instituto de Automática Industrial facilities with great results.
