Datasets

Two-vehicle ACC driving, Tennessee 2019

  • Description: The data is collected from a 2019 model year ACC vehicle driven in a highway environment. Velocity, space gap, and relative velocity data are recorded directly from the factory-installed radar unit via the follower vehicle’s CAN bus.

Two-vehicle ACC driving, Tennessee 2018

  • Description: A set of car following experiments are conducted to collect data from a 2015 luxury electric vehicle equipped with a commercial adaptive cruise control (ACC) system. Velocity, relative velocity, and spacing data collected during the experiments are used to calibrate an optimal velocity relative velocity car following model for both the minimum and maximum following settings.

Two-vehicle and platoon ACC driving, Arizona 2018

  • Description: The driving data of each of the seven distinct vehicle models from two different vehicle makes in 2018 is collected with ACC engaged by the follower vehicle. In addition, the data of a multi-vehicle platoon experiment in which all vehicles are the same year, make and model is also collected.
