Abstract:
A system and method for performing autonomous emergency braking (AEB) based on peripheral situations of a vehicle are disclosed. The AEB system includes a front lateral detection sensor, a vehicle dynamics sensor, and an electronic control unit (ECU). The front lateral detection sensor detects a distance and a relative speed between a host vehicle and a peripheral object, or transmits peripheral images of the host vehicle to the ECU. The vehicle dynamics sensor detects a driving speed of the host vehicle, and transmits the detected driving speed to the ECU. The ECU receives detection signals from the front lateral detection sensor and the vehicle dynamics sensor, and increases a size of an AEB control available region and an AEB control available speed when at least one leading moving object or at least one external object is present in longitudinal and latitudinal directions of a forward region of the host vehicle and the host vehicle is unable to perform steering avoidance capable of preventing collision with the leading moving object or the external object. Accordingly, even when several leading vehicles are present not only in longitudinal and latitudinal directions of a forward region of the host vehicle and the host vehicle is unable to perform steering avoidance, the possibility of collision between the host vehicle and the leading vehicles can be reduced.

Claim (Index 8):
The autonomous emergency braking (AEB) method according to  claim 7 , wherein the controlling the size of the AEB control available region and the AEB control available speed to be increased includes:\n if the sensors determine that the leading moving object or the external object is not present in the front lateral directions of the left and right lanes of the current lane of the host vehicle, or determine that the steering avoidance available region is present in the left/right lateral directions of the target vehicle, performing AEB control by maintaining the AEB control available speed.
