Forward Collision Avoidance

What is Forward Collision Avoidance?

To explain, forward collision avoidance (FCA) is exactly what it sounds like. Another facet of ADAS, it’s a system that helps you avoid a collision with an obstacle in front your vehicle. Presently, forward facing collisions are one of the most common types of accidents that occur, especially in urban settings and on highways during rush hour, where there is a lot of stop-start queuing traffic. Through the use of front facing radar sensors, your vehicle can sense speed of traffic, along with surrounding movement and hazards, in the same fashion as adaptive cruise control. In contrast, however, FAC works autonomously and will control steering and braking to avoid an accident. Moreover, forward collision avoidance will pre-charge your brakes in conjunction with the emergency braking system as a means of avoidance.

“Forward Collision Warning Avoidance”

To put it differently, forward collision avoidance continuously monitors the road ahead. As designed, it detects slowing moving traffic, crossing pedestrians, and fallen objects in your path. As a result, FCA will provide warnings and can use your braking system to its fullest even when you don’t apply full force. Unless you fail to react, autonomous emergency brakes are engaged on their own. Now, with this being said, we are human and make mistakes more than we want to admit. Sometimes, though, these mistakes can contribute to collisions. On the contrary, FCA mitigates the risk by either avoiding obstacles altogether, or by reducing the severity of the accident. Additionally, FCA with autonomous braking include elements of pre-collision prep, such as seatbelt tensioning as well as controlled steering. Since the introduction of FCA within ADAS, safe vehicle operation continues to remain the most important rule of the road.
