The current Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) systems are vulnerable to "road bully" such as cut-ins. This paper proposed an Anti-bullying Adaptive Cruise Control (AACC) approach with proactive right-of-way protection ability. It bears the following features: i) with the enhanced capability of preventing bullying from cut-ins; ii) optimal but not unsafe; iii) adaptive to various driving styles of cut-in vehicles; iv) with real-time field implementation capability. The proposed approach can identify other road users' driving styles online and conduct game-based motion planning for right-of-way protection. A detailed investigation of the simulation results shows that the proposed approach can prevent bullying from cut-ins and be adaptive to different cut-in vehicles' driving styles. The proposed approach is capable of enhancing travel efficiency by up to 29.55% under different cut-in gaps and can strengthen driving safety compared with the current ACC controller. The proposed approach is flexible and robust against traffic congestion levels. It can improve mobility by up to 11.93% and robustness by 8.74% in traffic flow. Furthermore, the proposed approach can support real-time field implementation by ensuring less than 50 milliseconds computation time.
