Abstract

Current automated emergency braking (AEB) systems operate using forward-looking environmental perception sensors. These sensors do not provide sufficient information about objects in obstructed sight scenarios and beyond the sensor field-of-view. Furthermore, these sensors perform poorly when crossing scenarios are considered, because the sensors do not provide accurate lateral motion information. These type of scenarios are specifically important when vulnerable road users (VRUs) are considered. The objective of this work is to demonstrate how wireless communication (V2X) fused with sensor information can improve sensor only AEB systems by providing early object detection, improved lateral tracking and reliable object classification.
