✦ Synopsis

In order to develop a proper speed control technique for automated driving of heavy-duty vehicles, in the situation of mixed tra$c of heavy-duty vehicles and passengers cars, a simulation study is carried out considering the transient characteristics of heavy-duty vehicles in acceleration and deceleration. The control performance is observed and some problems to be solved are listed as follows:

(1) to check control performance for time-dependent target speed and distance (2) to improve the control algorithms to suppress chattering of the acceleration.
