An efficient automotive system is implemented for Adaptive Cruise Control system (ACC) and security using an
embedded system occupied with a Global Positioning System (GPS) and a Global System of Mobile (GSM). This
paper proposes more accurate methods of detecting the preceding vehicle by radar while cornering, with
consideration for the vehicle sideslip angle, and also of controlling the distance between vehicles. It ensures the
security system of the vehicle. The client interacts through this system with vehicles and determines their current
locations and status using Google Earth. The user can track the position of targeted vehicles on Google Earth.
Using GPS locator, the target current location is determined and sent, along with various parameters received
by vehicle’s data port, via Short Message Service (SMS) through GSM networks to a GSM modem that is
connected to PC or laptop. To secure the vehicle, the user of a group of users can turn off any vehicle of the
fleet if any intruders try to run it by blocking the gas feeding line. This system is very safe and efficient to report
emergency situations as crash reporting or engine failure. By making full use of the proposed identification
logic for preceding vehicles and path estimation logic, an improvement in driving stability was achieved.
