Brake power required to prevent vehicle’s obstruction with a steadfast obstacle probabilistic approach

A probabilistic approach is applied to assess the required brake power to avoid obstruction with a suddenly detected steadfast obstacle in front of the moving vehicle. The obtained results can be used to select, on the design stage, the level of this power for extraordinary situations of the type in question.

The estimated results are presented in tables and charts and conclusions have been drawn for future precautionary measures.
