Automatic braking systems, commonly referred to as Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB), monitor the traffic ahead and automatically apply the vehicle’s brake if the driver fails to respond to a dangerous situation. Most AEB systems use radar, camera and/or laser technology in conjunction with the vehicle’s own speed and direction to determine whether a critical situation is developing.
Some systems apply an elevated level of braking, others apply full braking force. AEB systems provide an early warning to drivers of potentially hazardous situations, which can either prevent accidents or minimise the consequences. Recent studies indicate that AEB systems can reduce rear-end collisions by over 33%.
