In this study, an Advanced Emergency Braking System (AEBS) is adopted to the combined road friction coefficients by proposing an emergency steering maneuver. AEBS is one of the significant driver assistant systems to avoid rear-end collisions. AEBS supports the drivers with acoustic and optical warnings before applying the full braking maneuver. However, in special cases, such as the sudden decrease of road friction coefficient during braking, a single hard braking maneuver without a proper steering assist may not be sufficient to prevent a rear-end collision. Therefore, AEBS may work with the autonomous emergency steering systems to prevent inevitable rear-end collisions. The originality of this study arises from the necessity of the adaptation of the AEBS to work in cooperation with the autonomous emergency steering systems. A predictive controller was used to support the emergency braking maneuver with an autonomous steering maneuver via observing the yaw rate of the vehicle. The predictive controller was developed in MATLAB software. The implementation of the controller was performed in a non-linear four-wheel vehicle model in the IPG/CarMaker simulation environment. The communication between the simulation environment and MATLAB software was established in the Simulink interface of MATLAB. The results proved that the predictive controller maintained the vehicle lateral stability without causing any type of collisions.In this study, an Advanced Emergency Braking System (AEBS) is adopted to the combined road friction coefficients by proposing an emergency steering maneuver.
