ATeam - TU Eindhoven

The ATeam is an initiative of the University of Technology Eindhoven to promote and demonstrate the possibilities of cooperative driving.
The team cooperates with TMC Mechatronics B.V. and DAF trucks N.V..
The team consists of students, PhDs and employees of the university, DAF trucks and TMC.
These people have different backgrounds, but are all related to the groups involved in the Automotive Technology Master.

Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control (CACC) is an extension to Adaptive Cruse Control (ACC) where there is wireless communication between vehicles (V2V) and road-side units (V2I).

The general objective of a CACC system is to pack the driving vehicles together as tightly as possible in order to increase traffic flow while preventing amplification of disturbances throughout the string which is known as string instability.

ATeam participated in the Grand Cooperative Driving challenge (GCDC) with a DAF XF 105 460.
