Cruise Control Using IMC and PID Controllers

Abstract

The Proportional-Integral-Derivative known as (PID) controller has been continuously use in the modern industrial plant to control system due to its ease of tuning its parameters, though it is very time consuming and may be unreliable if efficiency parameters is not obtained. In this paper, we worked with the control of cruise system using PID and IMC controller tuned by Ziegler-Nichols techniques to compare the performance of the two different controller. The objective of this study is to evaluate the system's performance using the transient responses such as, rise time, settling time and steady-state. The simulation results show that the IMC controller gives a better transient response than the PID controller.
