Design and Implementation of Cruise Control for Bikes using Raspberry PI

The Adaptive cruise control conceptualizes the idea of providing comfort to the person driving the vehicle by taking control of the its speed. This system is present both in High-end cars as well as bikes. Old designs of cruise control just provided a way of maintaining a constant speed for a vehicle but adaptive cruise control not only maintains a constant speed but also changes it according to the surrounding situation. This paper focuses on fabricating a system to install adaptive cruise control in any kind of vehicle with emergency braking in case of any obstacle on road. The paper uses a Raspberry PI as a microcontroller to control the servo motors connected to the accelerator as well as the brakes. It takes input from a toggle switch and 3 touch sensors present on the control levers of the vehicle. It maintains constant speed by controlling the accelerator action.
