AEB, autonomous emergency braking, is an active safety system designed to prevent vehicle frontal collision. The most diffused AEB systems are based on simple Bang Bang control logic, which could often avoid, or at least mitigate collision effects, but their effectiveness can still be improved by increasing system repeatability. The aim of this study is to model and test an innovative AEB control logic that will increase system reliability by compensating for the non-immediate response of the braking system to braking requests. Using a hardware-in-the-loop test bench with two different braking systems implemented, the new controller was tested simulating the CCRs and CCRm scenarios, used by Euro NCAP for AEB system assessment. By compensating for the delay introduced by the response of two different braking systems, the innovative control logic stops the VUT, Vehicle Under Test, at the desired safety distance from the GVT, Global Vehicle Target.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
