405. Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) Introduction

Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) applies automatically maximum braking pressure in case of an obstacle or potential collision and brings the vehicle to a full stop. AEB is an active safety function similar to Emergency Lane Keeping (ELK). It overrides driver actions as the ultimate measure to avoid a collision.

The Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) library components are located in $FTX_PACKAGES/adas/AEB as shown in Figure 1.

The scenarios are grouped according to sub use cases:

  • front_AEB to address potential collisions in forward driving with vehicles, stationary objects and upon performing turns in junctions with crossing vehicles and VRUs.
  • rear_AEB to address potential collisions upon reverse driving with vehicles, stationary objects and VRUs.
