BRAKING CONTROL SYSTEM FOR VEHICLE
First Claim
1. A braking control system for a vehicle, said braking control system comprising:
- at least one sensor disposed at a subject vehicle and having a field of view exterior of the vehicle;
a control operable to control a brake system of the subject vehicle;
wherein, after actuation of the brake system by an automatic emergency braking system of the subject vehicle, said control, at least in part responsive to said at least one sensor, determines the speed of the subject vehicle and relative speed of the subject vehicle to another vehicle or object, and, responsive to the determined speed of the subject vehicle and the determined relative speed, said control controls the brake system of the subject vehicle;
wherein, after actuation of the brake system of the subject vehicle, and responsive to a determination that at least one of (i) a collision has occurred, (ii) the speed of the subject vehicle is greater than a threshold speed and (iii) the relative speed is greater than a threshold value, said braking control system is operable to determine if the driver of the subject vehicle is impaired; and
wherein, responsive to a determination that the driver is impaired, said control controls the brake system of the subject vehicle and does not allow the driver to override said braking control system, and wherein, responsive to a determination that the driver is not impaired, said control allows the driver to override said braking control system.

Abstract
A braking control system for a vehicle includes at least one sensor having a field of view exterior of the vehicle. A control, after actuation of the vehicle brake system, determines the speed of the vehicle and relative speed of the vehicle to another vehicle or object, and, responsive to the speed of the vehicle and the relative speed, the control controls the vehicle brake system. Responsive to a determination that at least one of (i) a collision has occurred, (ii) the vehicle speed is greater than a threshold amount and (iii) the relative speed is greater than a threshold amount, the system determines if the vehicle driver is impaired, and, responsive to a determination that the driver is impaired, the control controls braking of the subject vehicle, and responsive to a determination that the driver is not impaired, the control allows the driver to override the system.

11. A braking control system for a vehicle, said braking control system comprising:
-
at least one sensor disposed at a subject vehicle and having a field of view exterior of the vehicle; a control operable to control a brake system of the subject vehicle; wherein, after actuation of the brake system by an automatic emergency braking system of the subject vehicle, said control, at least in part responsive to said at least one sensor, determines the speed of the subject vehicle and relative speed of the subject vehicle to another vehicle or object, and, responsive to the determined speed of the subject vehicle and the determined relative speed, said control controls the brake system of the subject vehicle; wherein, after actuation of the brake system of the subject vehicle, said control releases the brakes of the brake system of the subject vehicle responsive to (i) a determination that no collision occurred, (ii) a determination that the speed of the subject vehicle is less than a threshold speed and (iii) a determination that the relative speed is less than a threshold value; wherein, after actuation of the brake system of the subject vehicle, and responsive to a determination that at least one of (i) a collision has occurred, (ii) the speed of the subject vehicle is greater than the threshold speed and (iii) the relative speed is greater than the threshold value, said braking control system is operable to determine if the driver of the subject vehicle is impaired; wherein, responsive to a determination that the driver is impaired, said control controls the brake system of the subject vehicle and does not allow the driver to override said braking control system, and wherein, responsive to a determination that the driver is not impaired, said control allows the driver to override said braking control system; and wherein said control is operable to determine whether the driver is impaired in response to at least one of (i) an interior cabin monitoring system, (ii) an image sensor operable to capture images of the driver'"'"'s face, (iii) a brake pedal sensor, (iv) an accelerator pedal sensor, (v) a steering wheel sensor and (vi) a signal indicative of deployment of an airbag of the subject vehicle. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A braking control system for a vehicle, said braking control system comprising:
-
at least one forward viewing camera disposed at a subject vehicle and having a field of view forward of the vehicle; a control operable to control a brake system of the subject vehicle; wherein, after actuation of the brake system by an automatic emergency braking system of the subject vehicle, said control, at least in part responsive to said at least one sensor, determines the speed of the subject vehicle and relative speed of the subject vehicle to another vehicle or object, and, responsive to the determined speed of the subject vehicle and the determined relative speed, said control controls the brake system of the subject vehicle; wherein, after actuation of the brake system of the subject vehicle, said control releases the brakes of the brake system of the subject vehicle responsive to (i) a determination that no collision occurred, (ii) a determination that the speed of the subject vehicle is less than a threshold speed and (iii) a determination that the relative speed is less than a threshold value; wherein, after actuation of the brake system of the subject vehicle, and responsive to a determination that at least one of (i) a collision has occurred, (ii) the speed of the subject vehicle is greater than the threshold speed and (iii) the relative speed is greater than the threshold value, said braking control system is operable to determine if the driver of the subject vehicle is impaired; and wherein, responsive to a determination that the driver is impaired, said control controls the brake system of the subject vehicle and does not allow the driver to override said braking control system, and wherein, responsive to a determination that the driver is not impaired, said control allows the driver to override said braking control system. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
