How does Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) function?

AEB automatically applies brakes when a collision is imminent and the driver has not responded to warnings. System operation: Sensors detect obstacles ahead, algorithms calculate time-to-collision (TTC), driver warnings are issued (visual, audible), brake pre-fill occurs for faster response, partial braking may begin, and full emergency braking engages if collision is imminent. AEB can significantly reduce or prevent collisions. Modern systems detect vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists. Key parameters include detection range, reaction timing, maximum deceleration, and false positive prevention. Regulatory requirements (Euro NCAP, NHTSA) are driving widespread adoption.
