VEHICULAR AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING SYSTEM WITH CROSS-PATH THREAT DETERMINATION

A vehicular control system includes a sensor disposed at a vehicle and capturing sensor data. The system, as the vehicle is approaching an intersection and responsive to processing by a processor of sensor data captured by the sensor, detects a cross-traffic threat approaching the intersection and maintains a buffer to store a trajectory of the cross-traffic threat. The system, using the trajectory, determines an intersection point between the vehicle and the cross-traffic threat, determines an arrival time at the intersection point for both the vehicle and the cross-traffic threat, and determines a difference between the arrival time of the vehicle at the intersection and the cross-traffic threat. The system, responsive to determining that the difference between the arrival time of the equipped vehicle at the intersection and the arrival time of the cross-traffic threat is less than a threshold amount, controls a safety system of the vehicle.
