An automatic emergency braking (AEB) system uses multiple sensor technologies and subsystems that work together to sense when a truck is in a crash-imminent situation and automatically applies the vehicle brakes if the driver has not done so, or automatically applies more braking force to supplement the driver’s applied braking.

In this episode of Truck Talk with Bendix, Fred Andersky joins Denise Rondini to explain AEB technology and discuss proposed regulation which would require automatic emergency braking on heavy vehicles in the U.S.

Truck Talk is hosted by Denise Rondini, president of Rondini Communications, who has been covering the trucking industry for 35 years.
