Automatic Emergency Braking

The Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) system is a vehicle safety feature designed to prevent or lessen frontal collisions using sensors and control modules. Various types of AEB include forward and rear braking, pedestrian detection, and city/highway speed systems, which utilize radar, cameras, and LIDAR to monitor obstacles and react accordingly. The system provides warnings to drivers and can automatically apply brakes if necessary, enhancing overall road safety.

AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING(AEB)

CONTROL MODULE
Introduction

Ø An Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) system is a safety feature in vehicles designed to assist drivers in
avoiding or mitigating frontal collisions.
Ø The system typically relies on sensors, control modules, and actuators to function effectively
Types of AEB

Autonomous braking systems can be of different types depending on the make and model. Below are different kinds
of AEB in cars.

Ø Forward automatic emergency braking

Ø Rear automatic emergency braking

Ø AEB with pedestrian detection

Ø City speed AEB

Ø Highway speed AEB


Working of AEB
AEB driver assistance system works with the help of a network of radar sensors mounted on the front grille, bumpers
or windshield. Some systems also rely on cameras, and some advanced systems use both radar sensors and cameras.
Initially, the use of radar sensors and cameras came into effect to enable the Adaptive Cruise Control feature, and
AEB also relies on the same set of equipment.

Ø The sensors and/or cameras constantly monitor the distance between your car and the obstacle (moving car,
pedestrian, etc.) ahead.

Ø If the distance reduces rapidly, for instance, if the vehicle in front brakes suddenly, the system immediately
triggers a warning.

Ø The driver receives an alert message via an audio or visual medium.

Ø If you are too late to react, the AEB comes into action and automatically applies the brakes.
Working of AEB
Ø The ECU (Electronic Control Unit) monitors your input and can detect when you are off the throttle and applies
the brakes manually. So, AEB will not kick in unnecessarily.

Ø The Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) helps AEB stop/slow down the vehicle efficiently.

Ø The entry-level AEB systems work only at slow speeds. They can be helpful when you drive in the city.

Ø The more sophisticated automatic braking systems work across a wider speed range. Hence, they may avoid or
mitigate the intensity of a high-speed collision.

Ø The most advanced AEB systems can also detect stationary objects, moving pedestrians, cyclists and cars.
Inputs to AEB
Ø Radar Sensors: These sensors use radio waves to detect the distance and relative speed of objects in the vehicle's
path.
Ø Camera Systems: Vision-based systems use cameras to identify objects, lane markings, and other road elements.
Ø LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging): LIDAR sensors use laser light to measure distances and create a
detailed map of the vehicle's surroundings.
Ø Ultrasonic Sensors: These sensors use sound waves to detect objects in close proximity to the vehicle.

Outputs from AEB


Ø Brake Actuation: The AEB system can send signals to the vehicle's brake control system to apply the brakes.
Ø Visual and Auditory Warnings: Before intervention, the system may provide warnings to the driver, such as
visual alerts on the dashboard or auditory signals.
