There are many situations where the driver’s response is not fast enough to apply brakes to stop and control the vehicle during emergency. So in such cases, there is an urgent need for an active brake system. Brake assist is an active vehicle safety feature designed not only to help drivers come to a stop more quickly during an episode of emergency braking but it automatically applies brakes in case the car in front of car comes too close. There are many sensors along with camera which continuously determines the speed of car in front of our car .If both cars come too close to each other, then brake assist first warns the driver and then apply 20% to 40% of braking capacity automatically and if still driver does not respond it activates emergency brake assist which applies 100% of braking power .During this ABS and EBD (sometimes ESC and TRACTION CONTROL) also comes into play which provides easy manoeuvre control to driver over vehicle.
