react. This means that while the system is engaged, the actuators are constrained |

|
to operate within reasonable limits. |
||||||
|
|
||||||
To address these, we came up with two safety principles. |
Following are details of the car specific safety implementations: |
||||||
|
|
||||||
1. Enforced disengagements. Step on either pedal or press the cancel button to |
Honda/Acura |
||||||
retake manual control of the car immediately. |

- These are hard enforced by the board, and soft enforced by the software. The |
|
||||||
green led on the board signifies if the board is allowing control messages. |
- While the system is engaged, gas, brake and steer limits are subject to the same limits used by |
||||||

replay of the same message. |
|
||||||
|
- Without an interceptor, the gas is controlled by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). |
||||||
|
The PCM limits acceleration to what is reasonable for a cruise control system. With an |
||||||
|
interceptor, the gas is clipped to 60%. |
||||||
|
|
||||||
2. Actuation limits. While the system is engaged, the actuators are constrained |
|
||||||
to operate within reasonable limits; the same limits used by the stock system on |
|
||||||
the Honda. |

|
|
||||||
|
- Brake and gas pedal pressed signals are contained in the 0x17C CAN message. A rising edge of |
||||||
|
either signal triggers a disengagement, which is enforced by the board and in software. The |
||||||
|
green led on the board signifies if the board is allowing control messages. |

- While the system is engaged, gas, brake and steer limits are subject to the same limits used by |
||||||
|
the stock system. |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- With the stock Driving Support Unit (DSU) enabled, the acceleration is controlled |
||||||
|
by the stock system and is subject to the stock adaptive cruise control limits. Without the |
||||||
|
stock DSU connected, the acceleration command is controlled by the 0x343 CAN message and its |
||||||
|
value is limited by the board and the software to between .3g of deceleration and .15g of |
||||||
|
acceleration. The acceleration command is ignored by the Engine Control Module (ECM) while the |
||||||
|
cruise control system is disengaged. |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Steering torque is controlled through the 0x2E4 CAN message and it's limited by the board and in |
||||||
|
software to a value of -1500 and 1500. In addition, the vehicle EPS unit will not respond to |
||||||
|
commands outside these limits. A steering torque rate limit is enforced by the board and in |
||||||
|
software so that the commanded steering torque must rise from 0 to max value no faster than |
||||||
|
1.5s. Commanded steering torque is limited by the board and in software to be no more than 500 |
||||||
|
units above the actual EPS generated motor torque to ensure limited differences between |
||||||
|
commanded and actual torques. |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Brake and gas pedal pressed signals are contained in the 0x224 and 0x1D2 CAN messages, |
||||||
|
respectively. A rising edge of either signal triggers a disengagement, which is enforced by the |
||||||
|
board and in software. Additionally, the cruise control system disengages on the rising edge of |
||||||
|
the brake pedal pressed signal. |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- The cruise control system state is contained in the 0x1D2 message. No control messages are |
||||||
|
allowed if the cruise control system is not active. This is enforced by the software and the |
||||||
|
board. The green led on the board signifies if the board is allowing control messages. |
