An emergency switch in Japan. On railways, [1] an emergency stop is a full application of the brakes in order to bring a train to a stop as quickly as possible. [2] This occurs either by a manual emergency stop activation, such as a button being pushed on the train to start the emergency stop, or on some trains automatically, when the train has passed a red signal or the driver has failed to ...
Multi-collision brake system (automatic post-collision braking system) to automatically brake the car after an accident to avoid a second collision. City emergency braking automatically activates brakes at low speeds in urban situations. 2014: Volkswagen Passat (B8) introduced pedestrian recognition as a part of the system. It uses a sensor ...
The ANCAP report in its safety assist section contains AEB rating taking into account the AEB interurban with various speeds named "Operational from" (for instance 10 to 180 km/h): HMI performance; FCW (stationary and slower-moving car) AEB interurban (car braking lightly, car braking heavily, driving toward slower-moving car)
Emergency Assist is a driver assistance system that monitors driver behavior by observing delays between the use of the accelerator and the brake; once a preset threshold of time has been exceeded the system will take control of the vehicle in order to bring it to a safe stop.
Brake assist (BA or BAS) or emergency brake assist (EBA) is a term for an automobile braking technology that increases braking pressure in an emergency. The first application was developed jointly by Daimler-Benz and TRW/LucasVarity. Research conducted in 1992 at the Mercedes-Benz driving simulator in Berlin revealed that more than 90% of ...
Interest in dead man's controls increased with the introduction of electric trams (streetcars in North America) and especially electrified rapid transit trains. The first widespread use came with the introduction of the mass-produced Birney One-Man Safety (tram) Car, though dead-man equipment was fairly rare on US streetcars until the successful PCC streetcar, which had a left-foot-operated ...
eCall SOS button in a Volkswagen e-golf. eCall (an abbreviation of "emergency call") [1] is an initiative by the European Union, intended to bring rapid assistance to motorists involved in a collision anywhere within the European Union. The aim is for all new cars to incorporate a system that automatically contacts the emergency services in the ...
Advanced emergency braking system, where brakes are applied automatically in case of emergency; Emergency brake assist (EBA or BA), which increases braking effectiveness when a human driver executes a panic stop; Parking brake or hand brake in automobiles, which can also be used in case of failure of the main braking system
