Automatic Emergency Braking-new safety standards in Europe

 
- This will be standard equipment on all cars sold in Europe since 2014.
AEB brake system helps reduce vehicle collisions with long-range sensors, front camera and automatically brakes if the driver does not pay attention to warnings.
Starting from the 2014 generation car, any car manufacturer wants to achieve safety standard of 5 star Euro NCAP need to ensure that the vehicle is equipped with automatic emergency braking AEB (Autonomous Emergency Braking). Similar to the safety features such as the Pre-Safe brake system of the Mercedes-Benz brakes or anti-collision Collision Mitigation Braking System Honda, emergency braking system will warn the driver if the speed when approaching to the front of the vehicle is greater than the pre-determined. In case the driver does not pay attention to the warning, the car automatically brakes and ready to mount other safety equipment.
A study shows that Euro NCAP organization from the actual data, AEB emergency brake system can reduce 27% of accident, however, this system has only been installed on 21% of vehicles sold in Europe. This organization is attempting to license the remaining 79% is sold in Europe will soon be installed AEB system by putting it into the standard criteria for safety 5.
This is the action of the European Union in an effort to reduce the 50% rate of injury from a car accident, to below 15,000 number of accidents / year by 2020. Secretary General of Euro NCAP, he said Michiel van Ratingen, AEB systems have the potential to save 8,000 lives each year. Since 2016, in addition to AEB brakes, the system safety improvements for pedestrians will also be added to the safety inspection process. Administration of the U.S. road-NHTSA must also pay attention to the development of this safety standard.
