Abstract :
Emergency braking maneuver control in automated highway systems (AHS) is addressed. Based on the on-line estimation of the longitudinal velocity of the vehicle and the tire/road friction characteristics, a pressure in the master cylinder of the braking system that attempts to achieve maximum deceleration during braking is calculated. Based on the estimated characteristics a braking strategy is applied. The designed system provides information for safe vehicle spacing and traffic flow control
