Abstract
An emergency braking system is provided and brakes a vehicle by more efficiently predicting forward collision. The emergency braking system includes an imaging device that identifies a forward obstacle and a sensor that senses an external environment and a driving state of a vehicle. A controller determines a road on which the vehicle is driven, determines a current driving environment case among a plurality of driving environment cases, using external environment information and road information and learns a driving pattern for the current driving environment case, using obstacle information and driving state information. Additionally, the controller variably adjusts warning and braking intervention timings using the learned driving pattern according to the driving environment cases.
