This paper explores the integration of Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) control in Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) systems to enhance vehicle safety and driving comfort. It delves into the basics of PID control, its prevalent use in industrial systems, and its applicability in ACC. The principle of ACC, which leverages sensor data for speed and distance regulation, is elucidated. Various simulations under MATLAB/Simulink are discussed, comparing the PID-based ACC system with other control strategies. These simulations reveal the PID control's effectiveness in real-life driving scenarios, highlighting its rapid and accurate response in speed, acceleration, and spacing control. However, limitations, such as fixed parameter settings and suboptimal performance under certain conditions, are acknowledged. The paper also examines adaptations like fuzzy-PID control that enhance system responsiveness and precision. Conclusively, the paper underscores the significance of PID control in advancing ACC systems, paving the way for more sophisticated autonomous driving technologies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
