Dual-AEB: Synergizing Rule-Based and Multimodal Large Language Models for Effective Emergency Braking
On the map: Multimodal LLMs / vision-language models → Driving VLMs and open-vocabulary detection
Abstract (arXiv)
Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) systems are a crucial component in ensuring the safety of passengers in autonomous vehicles. Conventional AEB systems primarily rely on closed-set perception modules to recognize traffic conditions and assess collision risks. To enhance the adaptability of AEB systems in open scenarios, we propose Dual-AEB, a system combines an advanced multimodal large language model (MLLM) for comprehensive scene understanding and a conventional rule-based rapid AEB to ensure quick response times. To the best of our knowledge, Dual-AEB is the first method to incorporate MLLMs within AEB systems. Through extensive experimentation, we have validated the effectiveness of our method. The source code will be available at https://github.com/ChipsICU/Dual-AEB.
