Abstract: A control system (100) for an emergency braking system (200) using at least one transmitter/receiver sensor (210) comprising: means for causing automatic transition, from a first state (310) in which the emergency braking system (200) is inactive to a second state (320) in which the emergency braking system (200) is active, in dependence upon satisfaction of a first condition (412); and means for causing automatic transition from the second state (320) to the first state (310) in dependence upon satisfaction of a second condition (421) different to the first condition (412) wherein transition from the second state (320) to the first state (310) does not occur in dependence upon the first condition (412) no longer being satisfied, and/or transition from the first state (320) to the second state (310) does not occur in dependence upon the second condition (421) no longer being satisfied.

Abstract: A controller for a collision warning system of a vehicle, wherein the controller comprises an input configured to receive first vehicle data indicative of one or more parameters of a first vehicle and target object data indicative of one or more parameters of a target object. The controller further comprises a processor configured to define a warning zone in dependence on the first vehicle data and to determine, in dependence on the target object data and the warning zone, a collision indicator. The controller further comprises an output arranged to output a control signal to a vehicle system in dependence on the collision indicator. Other aspects of the invention relate to a sensor system for a collision warning system, to a vehicle comprising the controller or the sensor system, to a method for a collision warning system, to a computer program product comprising instructions for carrying out the method, and to a computer readable data carrier having stored thereon instructions for carrying out the method.
