20090177347 | Vehicle driver assistance system and method - A driver assistance system includes a sensor for sensing the speed of a first vehicle equipped with the system, a sensor for detecting a vehicle traveling ahead, a sensor for determining the speed of the vehicle ahead, at least one driving-data sensor for sensing driving data characteristics, and an electronic controller programmed to trigger autonomous braking of the first vehicle when predetermined brake-trigger driving data exist, and to end the autonomous braking when predetermined driving data for terminating braking exist. In effecting termination of autonomous braking, the electronic controller is programmed to determine whether the sensor for detecting vehicles ahead is transmitting signals (i.e., is operational) but is not detecting any vehicle traveling ahead, and, if the sensor is operational and no vehicle traveling ahead is detected, to terminate autonomous braking when the speed of the first vehicle is less than the most recently determined speed of the vehicle ahead. | 07-09-2009 |
20120095660 | Method For Correctly Carrying Out Autonomous Emergency Braking In A Road Vehicle - The invention proposes a method for correctly carrying out autonomous emergency braking in a road vehicle (1) in order to reduce the severity of an accident, the speed of the vehicle being determined during the autonomous emergency braking. According to the method, a determination of speed which is independent of the wheel rotational speeds of the vehicle is additionally used. By this means, the vehicle speed can be determined sufficiently accurately even in the cases in which, as a result of sharp autonomous braking, the vehicle speed is higher than the wheel rotational speeds. | 04-19-2012 |
