Abstract
A control system for controlling braking and ACC functions of a vehicle includes a braking algorithm. A first signal processor receives input signals from at least one sensor and transmits transfer signals to the braking algorithm. The control system also includes an ACC algorithm. A second signal processor receives input signals from at least one sensor and transmits transfer signals to the ACC algorithm. Transfer signals are generated by the braking algorithm and transmitted to the ACC algorithm. Transfer signals are generated by the ACC algorithm and transmitted to the braking algorithm. Output signals are generated by the braking algorithm and transmitted to a hydraulic control unit to control vehicular braking. Output signals are generated by the ACC algorithm and transmitted to ACC actuators.
