Abstract

We have studied active safety technologies from the standpoint of “collision avoidance”. This paper describes a rear-end collision avoidance system with automatic brake control, which avoids a collision to the vehicle in front caused by inadvertent human errors using automatic emergency braking. The system is comprised of four key technological elements, headway distance measurement using scanning laser radar, path estimation algorithm with vehicle dynamics, collision prediction to the vehicle in front by a safe/danger decision algorithm, and longitudinal automatic brake control.
