Method For Correctly Carrying Out Autonomous Emergency Braking In A Road Vehicle

摘要

The invention proposes a method for correctly carrying out autonomous emergency braking in a road vehicle (1) in order to reduce the severity of an accident, the speed of the vehicle being determined during the autonomous emergency braking. According to the method, a determination of speed which is independent of the wheel rotational speeds of the vehicle is additionally used. By this means, the vehicle speed can be determined sufficiently accurately even in the cases in which, as a result of sharp autonomous braking, the vehicle speed is higher than the wheel rotational speeds.
