Automatic emergency braking systems are becoming more common
🚛 Automatic emergency braking systems are becoming more common.
The development and implementation of autonomous vehicles (AVs) have raised questions about their safety and reliability. Automatic emergency braking systems (AEBs) have emerged as a critical safety feature that uses radar, lidar, and cameras to detect objects and proactively prevent collisions. AEBs have shown significant success in reducing accidents and are gaining support, with proposed rules mandating them on all new Class 3-8 commercial vehicles. However, some issues, such as "phantom braking," have been reported, making it essential for fleets to take driver complaints seriously and explore ways to improve the technology's performance. Maintaining AEBs requires a holistic approach and proper calibration to ensure their correct functioning and safety benefits.
The growing need to modernize truck yards in line with warehouse and transport digitalization is fueling the adoption of established supply chain technologies to enhance asset tracking, allocation, and optimization within these yards.
