6. PERFORMING ORGANIZATION CODE

A Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control (CACC) system has been developed by adding a wireless communication system and new control logic to an existing commercially available adaptive cruise control (ACC) system. This report describes the design and implementation of the CACC system on two Infinitive FX-45 test vehicles, as well as the data acquisition system that has been installed to measure how drivers use the system, so that the eventual impacts of such a system on highway traffic flow capacity and stability can be estimated. 17.
