US Patent 10093289 Autonomous emergency braking system and method of controlling the same

An autonomous emergency braking system includes a vehicle speed detector, a pedestrian position detector, a pedestrian information storage portion and an electronic control unit which receives the vehicle speed and information of the position of the pedestrian detected by the pedestrian position detector, calculates a time to collision (TTC), predicts a relative position of the pedestrian compared with the vehicle at a point in time after the calculated TTC passes by tracking a moving trajectory of the pedestrian from a time series change in the position of the pedestrian stored in the pedestrian information storage portion, and performs autonomous emergency braking control depending on the predicted relative position of the pedestrian.
