Abstract:
An automated collision mitigation system of a vehicle includes a vehicle controller, a free space monitor unit, a rear collision monitor unit, a communicator, a drivetrain system and a braking system. The free space monitor unit detects a free space in front of a host vehicle and the rear collision monitor unit detect parameters of a remote vehicle located rearwardly of the host vehicle. The communicator sends and receives signal from the other vehicles or infrastructures by V2V or V2I wireless network. The vehicle controller evaluates an accelerating time of the host vehicle and a time-to-collision of the rear remote vehicle. In addition, the vehicle controller determines to activate the drivetrain system or the braking system of the host vehicle.

Claim (Index 14):
A method for mitigating the rear collision of a vehicle having a braking system and a drivetrain system, the method comprising:\n determining an impending rear end collision; determining a free space in front of a host vehicle; detecting parameters of a remote vehicle located rearwardly of the host vehicle; evaluating a stopping distance and a collision distance of the host vehicle with the detected parameters of the remote vehicle and stored data of the host vehicle; evaluating an accelerating time of the host vehicle to reach a collision point and a time-to-collision of the remote vehicle to collide into the host vehicle at the collision point with the detected parameters of the remote vehicle, stored data of the host vehicle and the evaluated distances; activating the drivetrain system when a vehicle controller indicates that the accelerating time of the host vehicle to reach the collision point is greater than the time-to-collision of the remote vehicle to reach the collision point; and activating the braking system when the vehicle controller indicates that the rear end collision has occurred.
