TNO tests Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control vehicles at innovITS ADVANCE

Date: 14/3/2012

Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control (CACC) technology offers the prospect of a practical solution to increase road space utilization based on ad hoc, real-time cooperative driving, allowing inter-vehicle headway distances to be safely reduced while improving the experience for drivers.

TNO, the Netherlands based not-for-profit applied scientific research organisation, is in the process of developing its own low cost and highly practically CACC technology. In order to test and demonstrate this advanced system and consider the potential for its further development, three of TNO's Prius vehicles equipped with CACC were recently evaluated at innovITS ADVANCE.
