autonomous emergency braking (automotive) (AEB)

Many traffic accidents are due to delayed braking, tailgating, poor visibility, driver fatigue or distraction, poor lighting conditions or blinded drivers. Autonomous braking systems, Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB), are designed to reduce the number of traffic accidents.

As driver assistance systems, autonomous braking systems support the driver and are intended to prevent or at least mitigate accidents. Corresponding systems, which are built into collision warning systems, operate autonomously and only intervene in the braking process in critical situations to avoid an accident.

Most AEB systems use long-range radar, stereo cameras and lidar technology to identify vehicles or other objects ahead. Based on the vehicle's own speed and direction, the system calculates whether a critical situation may arise. If one is detected, the AEB system warns the driver and, if there is no reaction, intervenes in the braking process.
