ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM AND ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL METHOD SUPPORTING TRAFFIC LIGHT RECOGNITION

An adaptive cruise control system and an adaptive cruise control method supporting traffic light recognition are provided. The adaptive cruise control system in the present disclosure includes: a wireless receiver adaptive with a wireless transmitter of each traffic light on a current lane and configured to receive first traffic light state information about the traffic light on the current lane sent by the wireless transmitter; and a main controller being in communication with the wireless receiver and configured to obtain the first traffic light state information received from the wireless receiver, and perform a stop control or adaptive cruise control based on the first traffic light state information. By implementing the adaptive cruise control method, an adaptive cruise control for avoiding a driver from violation of traffic light is further realized based on the state information of the traffic lights, so that a safety of driving can be improved.
