Abstract
An autonomous braking system includes a detecting module, a tracing module, a collision path prediction module, a memory register, a collision time prediction module and a decision module. The detecting module recognizes multiple objects located ahead of a vehicle, and then the tracing module traces the moving objects. The collision path prediction module is used to obtain a possible collision range and a non-collision range. The memory register records the coordinate of the objects located within the possible collision range. When one of the objects moves out of the possible collision range, its data is instantaneously removed from the memory register. The collision time prediction module predicts a collision time between the vehicle and each of the objects. The decision module determines if a brake assist is activated in accordance with the collision time.
