Dual adaptive collision avoidance system

A method for operating an anti-collision system of a vehicle, comprising:

• receiving, by a processing device, first sensor data associated with a first vehicle in front of the vehicle captured by a first sensor device communicatively coupled to the processing device;
• receiving, by the processing device, second sensor data associated with a second vehicle behind the vehicle captured by a second sensor device communicatively coupled to the processing device;
• calculating, by the processing device based on the first sensor data, a plurality of first parameters characterizing the first vehicle;
• calculating, by the processing device based on the second sensor data, a plurality of second parameters characterizing the second vehicle;
• responsive to detecting a braking event by the first vehicle, determining, based on a rule taking into consideration at least one of the plurality of first parameters and at least one of the plurality of second parameters, a braking force for the vehicle;
• and
• generating a braking control signal that applies the braking force to brakes of the vehicle.

A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium storing instructions which, when executed, cause a processing device to perform operations of an anti-collision system of a vehicle comprising:

• receiving, by the processing device, first sensor data associated with a first vehicle in front of the vehicle captured by a first sensor device communicatively coupled to the processing device;
• receiving, by the processing device, second sensor data associated with a second vehicle behind the vehicle captured by a second sensor device communicatively coupled to the processing device;
• calculating, by the processing device based on the first sensor data, a plurality of first parameters characterizing the first vehicle;
• calculating, by the processing device based on the second sensor data, a plurality of second parameters characterizing the second vehicle;
• responsive to detecting a braking event by the first vehicle, determining, based on a rule taking into consideration at least one of the plurality of first parameters and at least one of the plurality of second parameters, a braking force for the vehicle;
• and
• generating a braking control signal that applies the braking force to brakes of the vehicle.
