Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a method for determining inter-vehicle distance during adaptive cruise control. Moreover, the method is directed to the integration of multiple sensing modalities to accurately determine inter-vehicle distance at close ranges. This approach exploits standard, vehicle-based sensors and processing circuitry to improve the selection of sensing modalities during inter-vehicle distance determination.
