Advanced emergency braking system
A collision avoidance system (CAS), also known as a pre-crash system, forward collision warning system, or collision mitigation system, is an advanced driver-assistance system designed to prevent or reduce the severity of a collision. In its ...
, where brakes are applied automatically in case of emergency
*
Emergency brake assist, known as EBA, which increases braking effectiveness when a human driver executes a panic stop
*
Anti-lock braking system
An anti-lock braking system (ABS) is a safety anti-skid braking system used on aircraft and on land vehicles, such as cars, motorcycles, trucks, and buses. ABS operates by preventing the wheels from locking up during braking, thereby maintaini ...
, which maximizes braking friction on slippery surfaces or during an emergency braking maneuver
* A feature of an
autonomous cruise control system (ACC), when the vehicle ahead is too close
*
Brake-by-wire
Other vehicles
*
Train protection system, which engages an emergency brake in dangerous situations
*
Autobrake An autobrake is a type of automatic wheel-based hydraulic brake system for advanced airplanes. The autobrake is normally enabled during takeoff and landing procedures, when the aircraft's longitudinal deceleration system can be handled by the autom ...
