Driving with ACB

Bendix ACB Technology continues to advance the safety of commercial trucking. ACB stands for Active Cruise with Braking The system is automatically activated when the cruise control is "set". Using a radar sensor mounted to the front of your vehicle (typically behind the bumper), the Bendix Wingman ACB system monitors 32 objects within approximately 500′ of the front of your vehicle. If the forward vehicle slows down below the your vehicle's cruise control set speed, the system will de-throttle the engine, progressively apply the engine retarder, and then apply the foundation brakes in an attempt to maintain the set following distance behind the forward vehicle. If the forward vehicle accelerates away, the Bendix Wingman ACB system will automatically accelerate your vehicle to the original cruise control set speed, and again maintain a set following distance behind the forward vehicle. Since the Bendix Wingman ACB system operates with normal cruise control, all the features built into normal cruise control also apply. Limits imposed by factory-set road speed governors or other vehicle cruise control features are fully supported by the Bendix Wingman ACB system.
