A controller for a vehicle system on a host vehicle comprising: an input for receiving a travel signal indicative of a direction of travel of the host vehicle; an output for transmitting a braking signal to control a braking action of the host vehicle; a processor having control logic , the control logic capable of: identifying a first target in a lane of travel of the host vehicle; monitoring for an active braking intervention request; monitoring for an additional target in an adjacent lane of travel to the host vehicle; transmitting a first braking signal at the output to control a braking action at a first braking level in response to receiving the active braking intervention request and identifying no other targets in adjacent lanes of travel to the host vehicle; identifying the additional target in the adjacent lane of travel; characterised by receiving the travel signal at the input indicative of a change in the direction of travel of the host vehicle toward the identified additional target; and transmitting a second braking signal at the output to control the braking action at a second braking level in response to receiving the active braking intervention request, identifying the additional target and receiving the travel signal indicative of the host vehicle moving to toward the additional target, the second level being different than the first level. an input for receiving a travel signal indicative of a direction of travel of the host vehicle; an output for transmitting a braking signal to control a braking action of the host vehicle; a processor having control logic , the control logic capable of: identifying a first target in a lane of travel of the host vehicle; monitoring for an active braking intervention request; monitoring for an additional target in an adjacent lane of travel to the host vehicle; transmitting a first braking signal at the output to control a braking action at a first braking level in response to receiving the active braking intervention request and identifying no other targets in adjacent lanes of travel to the host vehicle; identifying the additional target in the adjacent lane of travel; characterised by receiving the travel signal at the input indicative of a change in the direction of travel of the host vehicle toward the identified additional target; and transmitting a second braking signal at the output to control the braking action at a second braking level in response to receiving the active braking intervention request, identifying the additional target and receiving the travel signal indicative of the host vehicle moving to toward the additional target, the second level being different than the first level. identifying a first target in a lane of travel of the host vehicle; monitoring for an active braking intervention request; monitoring for an additional target in an adjacent lane of travel to the host vehicle; transmitting a first braking signal at the output to control a braking action at a first braking level in response to receiving the active braking intervention request and identifying no other targets in adjacent lanes of travel to the host vehicle; identifying the additional target in the adjacent lane of travel; characterised by receiving the travel signal at the input indicative of a change in the direction of travel of the host vehicle toward the identified additional target; and transmitting a second braking signal at the output to control the braking action at a second braking level in response to receiving the active braking intervention request, identifying the additional target and receiving the travel signal indicative of the host vehicle moving to toward the additional target, the second level being different than the first level. <EOS>
