Cruise Controller

Control Objective:
To control the velocity of car and make it reach desired velocity.

Here the cars expriences drag due to air proportional to its velocity which is $bv$ and it is given an input $u$

Model Dynamics: $m \dot v + bv = u$

PID controller is used to reach the given desired value of velocity
P : Proportional gain (helps to reach desired value but does not reachs desired value)
I : Integral gain (helps to reach desired value but overshoots)
D : Derivate gain (helps to reduce overshoot due to integral gain)

​Desired value of velocity: $60 km/hr$
