Advanced Collision Warning and Management Strategies for Brake Failure in Commercial Vehicles

The manual and automated braking system is intended to prevent rear-end collisions. However, unforeseen malfunctions within the vehicle's system during braking could potentially cause accidents. Collision Warning (CW) systems are safety technologies in vehicles that aid drivers in preventing collisions. This paper introduces a fuzzy-assisted pre-warning system for brake testing that considers multiple factors contributing to brake failure, along with a post-failure CW algorithm tailored for heavy commercial vehicles. Simulations conducted using NetLogo demonstrate that accidents can be prevented during brake failure through appropriate adjustments in vehicle speed. The proposed collision avoidance system has been validated for its effectiveness, and the results are encouraging and enhance road user safety.
