Under What Circumstances Should Emergency Braking Be Applied?
1 Answers
When a vehicle is driving normally without adaptive cruise control, it can actively generate braking effect to decelerate the vehicle in case of sudden danger. The emergency braking system enhances safety in two ways: 1. By detecting critical situations early and warning the driver to avoid accidents; 2. By reducing collision speed and, in some cases, preparing the vehicle and restraint systems for impact to mitigate the severity of unavoidable collisions. Precautions for vehicle emergency braking: 1. Maintain sufficient distance from the vehicle ahead: It is essential to keep enough distance from the vehicle in front. Generally, maintain an 80-meter distance when driving at 80 km/h and a 120-meter distance at 120 km/h, with increased distance during special weather conditions like rain or snow. 2. Function: The emergency braking system is installed at the front of the vehicle and uses radar, cameras, and sensors to detect obstacles ahead. If an obstacle appears and the driver does not brake, the vehicle will take emergency braking measures to reduce the risk of collision.
