Description
Vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode
Conventional (fixed speed) cruise control mode Intelligent Brake Assist (IBA)
Brake Assist (with preview function)
ADAS control unit ×××× ADAS control unit calculates a target distance between vehicles
and a target speed, based on signals received from each sensor
and switch to transmit an engine torque command value to ECM
and a brake fluid pres sure control signal to ABS actuator and
electric unit (control unit) via CAN communication
 ADAS control unit transmits buzzer output signal to combination
meter via CAN communication
