Automatic brake release method for automobile detects driver reaction for automatically initiating vehicle braking in emergency situation

摘要

The automatic brake release method uses sensors for detecting a driver reaction in the form of acoustic signals, compared with reference values, for initiating automatic braking when a threshold value is exceeded. The acoustically detected driver reaction may be used in conjunction with a non-acoustic driver reaction and a vehicle driving condition detected by the operating movement of the brake pedal, the hydraulic braking pressure, the and/or the vehicle velocity relative to a vehicle or an obstacle in its path. Also included are Independent claims for the following an automatic brake release device for an automobile a method for automatic interruption of braking of an automobile
