Method for minimizing automatic braking intrusion based on collision confidence

摘要

An automatic braking system (12) for a vehicle (10) includes an electronic brake system (16) capable of applying wheel brakes (20) to decelerate the vehicle and a controller. The controller includes instructions for detecting an object proximate to a vehicle with at least one sensor (30, 36) for a reverse collision avoidance system (14) and determining a collision confidence value based upon the probability of collision with the object. The controller further includes instructions for determining a desired velocity profile of the vehicle that provides for deceleration of the vehicle.
