Systems and methods are provided for controlling one or more brakes of the vehicle. The system may include a processor and a memory in communication with the processor with a brake control module. The brake control module includes instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to control the one or more brakes of the vehicle when the vehicle is in a first mode using a brake-by-wire system. When the vehicle is in a second mode, control the brake-by-wire system such that the one or more brakes of the vehicle are controlled using a mechanical braking system and the brake-by-wire system.

A method and an apparatus for braking control for autonomous parking are disclosed. According to at least one embodiment, the present disclosure provides an apparatus for controlling braking of a vehicle to cause the vehicle to follow a target route generated in advance, including a biased braking control initiating unit configured to determine whether the target route satisfies a condition for initiating biased braking control, a biased braking amount determining unit configured to determine a ratio of a braking pressure to be applied to respective wheels of the vehicle based on the target route in response to determining that the target route satisfies the condition for initiating the biased braking control, and a control unit configured to perform braking control of the vehicle based on the ratio of the braking pressure.

A front impact mitigation system for a host vehicle and a method for operating a front impact mitigation system. The front impact mitigation system can take into account the position of a rear object that trails the host vehicle to develop a modified front impact mitigation control signal that at least partially mitigates the likelihood of certain rear impact collisions between the rear object and the host vehicle when the host vehicle is responding to the presence of an impending leading obstacle. A modified front impact mitigation control signal may be developed to account for the speed of the host vehicle and the distance that the rear object trails the host vehicle.

Disclosed is an advanced emergency brake system that performs an emergency brake if a target is situated at a location close to a vehicle. The emergency brake system includes a radar sensor; a camera; an ultrasonic sensor for detecting an object situated at a close distance from the vehicle; and an electronic control unit that outputs a predetermined alarm control signal or performs an emergency brake depending on the input from the radar sensor, the camera, and the ultrasonic sensor. The emergency brake system disclosed herein can perform emergency brakes even when a target outside the angle of view of the radar sensor or the camera abruptly intervenes. Also disclosed is a method for controlling a brake with the emergency brake system.

A method and a device for avoiding a possible subsequent collision and for reducing the accident consequences of a collision, in which after a first collision of the vehicle with a further road user has taken place, an automatic braking intervention by a vehicle safety system is released according to a braking model by ascertaining vehicle data from the handling of the host vehicle, buffering the vehicle data ascertained in a memory, inferring the category of the road being traveled on at the moment from the buffered vehicle data, determining an initial distance as a function of the road category determined, and ascertaining the condition for releasing the brake using this initial distance.

A collision avoidance device includes, for example, a collision avoidance executor that can execute avoidance braking for avoiding collision with an object to be avoided; a determiner that determines whether a brake pedal is operated by a driver; and a collision avoidance controller that inhibits execution of the avoidance braking from ending and controls braking to apply a brake with a larger one of a required braking force through the operation of the brake pedal and a braking force by the avoidance braking, when the driver operates the brake pedal during the avoidance braking.

A method for the automated control of the longitudinal movement of a motor vehicle having an automated positive acceleration process in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle and an automated deceleration in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle. An acceleration variable is determined based on a jerk value and limited in terms of absolute value. And the jerk value is in turn determined in a driving mode in which, starting from a vehicle actual longitudinal speed and a vehicle actual longitudinal acceleration, the motor vehicle is adjusted to a predeterminable vehicle longitudinal speed taking into account a predeterminable maximum positive driving mode vehicle longitudinal acceleration, a predeterminable maximum driving mode vehicle longitudinal deceleration and at least one predeterminable driving operating mode jerk absolute value which limits the jerk.

There is provided an automatically guided vehicle (AGV), which is configured to detect if a payload mass differs significantly from a preset payload mass towed and/or carried by the vehicle, and if a payload mass different from the preset payload is detected, the control system of the vehicle is automatically updated to adjust either: i) the speed of the vehicle based on preset safety brake distance information associated with the detected different payload mass; or ii) increase the safety zone or switch to a safer safety zone in order to avoid collision with any obstacles.

The present disclosure relates to an automotive braking control apparatus and method. The automotive braking control apparatus includes: a weather condition determiner determining weather conditions on the basis of image information received from a camera; a collision determiner determining possibility of a collision with a forward object on the basis of the image information received from the camera and object sensing information received from a radar; and an automotive braking controller controlling emergency braking of a vehicle when it is determined that there is possibility of a collision with the forward object, in which the collision determiner changes weight for the image information and weight for the object sensing information on the basis of the weather conditions.

There is provided a traveling control device capable of appropriately performing collision avoidance by using not only a region inside a lane of an own vehicle but also a region outside the lane of the own vehicle. A traveling control device includes an acceleration calculation unit which obtains an acceleration of a target object from information of an outside recognition sensor, a behavior estimation unit which estimates a behavior of the target object from the acceleration, a TTC calculation unit which obtains a time to collision from the information of the outside recognition sensor, a determination unit which determines a risk region based on outputs of the TTC calculation unit and the behavior estimation unit, and a collision avoidance operation control unit which controls a collision avoidance operation for the target object based on a result of the determination unit.
