Zusammenfassung:A monitoring apparatus for monitoring target objects is arranged to monitor a speed of the host vehicle and relative movement between a host vehicle and the one or more target objects and to trigger at least one action, preferably pre-arming the brakes or automatic braking, responsive to the speed of the host vehicle and detection of predetermined relative movement between the host vehicle and the one or more target objects thereby to reduce a risk of collision of the host vehicle with the one or more target objects. The apparatus is arranged to monitor control inputs of the vehicle and, in the event predetermined movement of the control inputs is detected, to over-ride triggering of the at least one action whereby triggering of the at least one action is not performed. The control inputs may be movement (in either direction) of the accelerator pedal, steering wheel movement and/or application of the brakes.
