Sensors for detecting the external environment and actuators for controlling vehicle motions are being vigorously developed by many vehicle manufacturers for use in ITS or with safety technologies. This paper shows an analysis of driver behaviour characteristics in emergency situations that lead to an accident. Based on this analysis, a prototype vehicle of an Emergency Braking Aid System has been built. Test results have confirmed that this system is effective in reducing an impact speed or the frequency of the accident.
