Notifying passengers of imminent vehicle braking

Abstract:

A method, a computer program product, and a computer system notify passengers of an imminent brake event of a vehicle. The method includes determining that the imminent brake event is about to occur. The method includes determining a delay value to be applied to a brake system of the vehicle. The method includes determining a safety threshold associated with the imminent brake event based on at least one of conditions of the vehicle and surroundings of the vehicle. As a result of the delay value being less than the safety threshold, the method includes postponing use of the brake system for a duration corresponding to the delay value. The method includes broadcasting a notification to the passengers of the imminent brake event.
