Abstract

An emergency stop system for transferring an at least semi-autonomously operable vehicle into a safe state includes an actuating device configured to output an actuating signal, a control device configured to receive the actuating signal and to output a control signal, and an emergency braking device configured to actively brake the vehicle. The emergency braking device is configured to actuate a braking system provided in the vehicle based on the output control signal and based on a predetermined operating mode in order to generate a braking force for decelerating the vehicle.
