VOLVO FH, FM Adaptive Cruise Control ACC
ACC (Adaptive Cruise Control) is an advanced radarbased cruise control
system that automatically helps the driver to maintain a safe distance
to the vehicles in front of the truck. The system should be regarded
as a comfort and safety system that further
enhances vehicle productivity, particularly for long-haul transport.
ACC makes it easy to follow the rhythm of the surrounding traffic.
ACC enables the driver to select the time interval to vehicles that are
in front of the truck. ACC then maintains this interval by automatically
regulating throttle pressure and braking functions.
In addition to auxiliary brakes ACC also utilizes the wheel brakes, which
gives a reliable braking performance of the system. Brake blending is
used
and the needed mix of brakes is judged continuously.
Using time as a setting for the distance offers an advantage in terms
of safety. At higher speeds, the driving distance also increases.
The cruise control system is based on an advanced Doppler radar.
It has the capacity to detect moving objects up to approximately 180 meters.
The radar function is not affected by rain, fog or darkness. However,
in extreme weather conditions, the radar may become blocked by snow or
ice. The driver is then alerted by a fault code in the display.
Features and Benefits
• ACC automatically maintains the selected distance to vehicles
in front of the truck, which reduces the risk of colliding with these
vehicles from behind.
• By automatically maintaining a distance, the driver’s stress level
is reduced in heavy motorway traffic.
• The truck automatically follows the rhythm of the surrounding
traffic, enabling the driver to relax and have a better overview of the
traffic.
• ACC works with all types of brakes, providing high braking power,
up to the max allowed retardation 2 m/s2.
• ACC enables a smooth driving style. Fewer accelerations/decelerations
promote economical driving.
