Hätäjarrutusautomatiikka

Hätäjarrutusautomatiikka, often abbreviated as AEB (Autonomous Emergency Braking), is a driver assistance system designed to prevent or mitigate collisions. The system typically uses a combination of sensors, such as radar, lidar, and cameras, to detect potential obstacles in the vehicle's path. If the system identifies an imminent collision and the driver does not react appropriately, it will first issue a warning to the driver, usually an audible alert or a visual cue. If the driver still fails to brake, the AEB system will automatically apply the brakes with full force to avoid or reduce the severity of an impact. AEB systems are designed to operate at various speeds and can detect different types of objects, including other vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists. The effectiveness of AEB can vary depending on the specific system, vehicle speed, road conditions, and the size and type of the object being detected. Many modern vehicles come equipped with AEB as a standard or optional safety feature, and its widespread adoption is recognized as a significant advancement in vehicle safety technology. The primary goal of hätäjarrutusautomatiikka is to enhance road safety by reducing the number and severity of accidents caused by driver inattention or delayed reaction times.
