To guarantee reliable sensing of objects, particularly in low visibility conditions, the radar sensor operates in the 76.5-GHz frequency range. Installed at the front of the car, the radar sensor detects the relative speed and distance of vehicles driving ahead. But it goes a step beyond with the inclusion of a mm-wave radar sensor with integrated signal processor and control unit.

Planned for series production next year, ACC represents the latest development in the quest to control vehicle motion electronically.Īdaptive cruise control uses all of ESP's sensors to monitor vehicle movement and promote brake control. What's next on the agenda? Adaptive cruise control (ACC), says Wolf-Dieter Jonner, Bosch's director of applications and system development. Building upon ABS technology, the company later introduced traction control followed by its electronics stability program (ESP). Beyond brake control Adaptive cruise control maintains a safe distance between moving vehicles Karen Auguston Fieldīo xberg, Germany-In the 1970s, engineers at Robert Bosch delivered the first electronically controlled, anti-lock braking system (ABS) specifically designed for production cars.
