Robust Cruise Control using CRONE Approach

This paper deals with car longitudinal control performed by cruise control system using CRONE approach. A comparison between this approach and a classical Proportional-Integral (PI) controller is presented. Simulations with both controllers are performed considering a simple nonlinear vehicle model including wheels dynamics, mass uncertainties, aerodynamic drag, gravity and wind forces. Results show better robustness to uncertainties with the second generation CRONE controller as already demonstrated with the CRONE suspension.
