Nødbremsassistanse

Nødbremsassistanse, often abbreviated as AEB (Autonomous Emergency Braking) in English, is an advanced driver-assistance system designed to help prevent or mitigate the severity of a collision. The system typically uses sensors such as radar, cameras, or lidar to detect potential hazards in front of the vehicle, like other cars, pedestrians, or cyclists. When the system identifies a high risk of an imminent collision and the driver has not taken sufficient action, it will first issue a warning to the driver, often through visual and auditory alerts. If the driver still does not respond appropriately, the AEB system will automatically apply the brakes forcefully to reduce the impact speed or, in some cases, bring the vehicle to a complete stop.

The primary goal of AEB is to improve road safety by reducing the number of accidents and their consequences. Studies have shown that AEB systems can significantly decrease rear-end collisions and accidents involving vulnerable road users. The system's effectiveness can vary depending on the specific technology used, the speed of the vehicle, and the conditions, such as visibility and weather. AEB systems are becoming increasingly common in new vehicles, both as standard equipment and as an optional feature, and are often a key component in achieving high safety ratings from organizations like Euro NCAP.
