Abstract
Disclosed herein are an impact-absorbing apparatus and method for a vehicle, which are applied to an automatic emergency brake (AEB) system of a vehicle. The impact-absorbing apparatus includes a path generation unit configured to generate an own vehicle travel path of an own vehicle, based on a speed and travel direction of the own vehicle, and a preceding vehicle travel path of a preceding vehicle, based on a speed and travel direction of the preceding vehicle, and a collision determination unit configured to determine whether or not the own vehicle collides with the preceding vehicle, based on the own vehicle travel path and the preceding vehicle travel path, wherein when it is impossible to avoid the collision between the own vehicle and the preceding vehicle, the path generation unit generates a new travel path by comparing the own vehicle travel path with the preceding vehicle travel path.
