- description: FIAT City Brake Control is an autonomous emergency braking which helps a driver avoid a low-speed crash. At vehicle speeds between 5km/h and 30km/h, City Brake Control uses a lidar (Light Detection And Ranging) sensor positioned at the top of the windscreen to monitor an area 10-12m ahead of the car for vehicles which might present a threat of collision. If a collision is very likely and the driver does not react, City Brake Control first pre-fills the brakes to provide a quicker and greater level of braking when needed. If the collision becomes more imminent, the system makes the hydraulic brake assist function more sensitive, boosting braking pressure to provide a shorter braking distance. If the driver continues to take no action, City Brake Control applies the brakes autonomously and, at the same time, issues a warning (a buzzer, together with a visual signal in the dashboard) to the driver that the system has had to intervene to prevent an accident. At speeds between 5km/h and 20km/h, the brakes apply a maximum deceleration of 10ms-2; between 20km/h and 30km/h, the maximum deceleration is 6ms-2. If, shortly before a collision, the driver does try to brake, City Brake Control will optimise the braking, helping to avoid the collision.
