This paper presents adaptive cruise control of a hybrid electric vehicle. First, the mathematical model of the vehicle is formulated. Next, a classical controller is applied to the vehicle model. Swarm optimisation is implemented for self parameter tuning of the controller. The model is simulated and the result of the response to a variable speed is analysed. The results reveal that the controller is not a powerful means to manage the rapid transformation of the desire set point. Accordingly, a sliding mode controller is developed next. The performance of this controller is compared with the classical controller.
