Emergency Brake Assistant for Automatically Decelerating a Vehicle to Prevent a Collision or Reduce the Consequences of a Collision
First Claim
1. An emergency brake assistant for automatically decelerating a vehicle to prevent a collision or reduce the consequences of a collision with a detected collision object, at a determined intervention point in time, wherein a brake system of the vehicle is automatically activated such that a collision with the detected collision object can be prevented or consequences of the collision can be reduced, wherein the intervention point in time is determined as a function of a determined end point in time of a driver reaction time and of a determined last-possible braking point in time.

Abstract
The invention relates to an emergency brake assistant for automatically decelerating a vehicle to prevent a collision or reduce the consequences of a collision with a detected collision object, at a determined intervention point in time, a brake system of the vehicle being automatically activated such that a collision with the detected collision object can be prevented or at least the consequences of the collision can be reduced. The invention is characterized in that the intervention point in time can be determined as a function of the end point in time of a determined driver reaction time and of the determined last-possible braking point in time.

16. A method for automatically decelerating a vehicle comprising:
-
determining a intervention point in time based on a determined end point in time of a driver reaction time, a determined last-possible braking point in time, and a determined last-possible evading point in time; and activating, automatically, a brake system of the vehicle at the determined intervention point in time such that a collision with a detected collision object is prevented or consequences of the collision reduced. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18)
