Emergency Brake Assist



http://www.peugeot.com.au/PEUGEOT/AU/me.get?site.SectionShow...

EBFD is a high-technology system which is designed to enhance the dynamic performance of the 4-sensor ABS brakes fitted as standard to the 307 Touring range. Sensors continually monitor the loading and speed of each road wheel and act to maintain the right balance of front and rear braking effort in an emergency stop. The Emergency Brake Assist (EBA) system automatically increases the braking effort in a sudden stop situation, and activates the hazard lights to warn following drivers.

agree Mark Edmundson : I think system could be used as well, though assist sounds better http://www.renault.fr/RenaultSITe/news/articles/nw_article.j...

EBA
Emergency Braking Assistance. Egalement désigné, selon les constructeurs, par les acronymes AFU (Assistance au Freinage d\'Urgence) ou BAS (Break Assist System). Intégrée à certains ABS, ce système électronique amplifie la puissance de freinage, lorsque dans une situation d\'urgence, le conducteur exerce sur la pédale de frein une pression insuffisante. L\'urgence de la situation est évaluée grâce à deux capteurs permettant d\'analyser la rapidité et l\'instensité de l\'action du conducteur sur la pédale et le maître-cylindre du circuit de freinage. Si la réaction du conducteur est rapide mais la pression exercée insuffisante, l\'électronique adresse automatiquement au circuit de freinage la pression maximum convenant à la situation d\'urgence détectée. Si le conducteur relâche immédiatement sa pression sur la pédale de frein, l\'action intempestive du système est neutralisée.
