Bremseassistenter

Bremseassistenter, also known as brake assist systems, are safety features found in modern vehicles designed to help the driver stop the car more effectively in emergency situations. These systems work by detecting when a driver has applied the brakes very quickly and with significant force, but not with enough pressure to fully engage the anti-lock braking system (ABS) or achieve maximum braking power.

Upon sensing such a situation, the bremseassistent automatically applies additional braking force to the wheels, supplementing the driver's own effort. This rapid increase in braking pressure can significantly reduce the stopping distance of the vehicle, potentially preventing accidents or mitigating their severity. The system typically operates by monitoring the speed at which the brake pedal is pressed and the amount of force applied.

Different manufacturers may use slightly different terminology and implement variations of the technology, but the core function remains the same: to enhance braking performance during sudden and unexpected stops. Bremseassistenter are often integrated with other electronic stability control and ABS systems to provide a comprehensive safety net for drivers. Their effectiveness has been widely recognized, and they are now a standard safety feature in many new vehicles sold globally.
