Method and device for braking a motor vehicle at close distance to an obstacle

The braking method uses the detected distance and relative velocity between the automobile and an obstacle, provided by sensors, for calculation of the required braking pressure, provided independent of the driver, with additional braking provided by the engine when the relative velocity and the dis...

Zusammenfassung:The braking method uses the detected distance and relative velocity between the automobile and an obstacle, provided by sensors, for calculation of the required braking pressure, provided independent of the driver, with additional braking provided by the engine when the relative velocity and the distance are each below respective threshold values. The engine braking being is normally greater than the braking provided by the operation of the brakes, unless the detected distance is less than a defined stop distance. An Independent claim for an automobile braking device is also included.
