Abstract
An automatic braking system for a vehicle includes an electronic brake system capable of applying wheel brakes to decelerate the vehicle and a controller. The controller includes instructions for detecting an object proximate to a vehicle with at least one sensor for a reverse collision avoidance system and determining a collision confidence value based upon the probability of collision with the object. The controller further includes instructions for determining a desired velocity profile of the vehicle that provides for deceleration of the vehicle.
