Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB)
Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) combines advanced Driver Assist Systems and Electronic Stability Control to slow the vehicle and potentially mitigate the severity of an impact when a collision is unavoidable.
AEB works with or without driver intervention by combining data from forward-looking radar and video systems to provide a complete, accurate and real-time image of the road ahead. AEB can utilize long-range radar (LRR) or mid-range radar (MRR) in combination with a scalable video camera.
Next, brake pressure is applied automatically, providing maximum brake boost immediately once the driver does engage the brakes.
If a driver's steering and braking intervention is not enough to avoid a collision, autonomous emergency braking with maximum brake pressure will be applied to help mitigate the impact. This final action is realized as full ABS braking, and it ensures maximum speed reduction. AEB is the highest escalation step for a safety system to react to a critical situation.
