Collision warning/avoidance systems have the potential to substantially reduce the frequency and severity of accidents. The collision warning/avoidance systems, and adaptive cruise control systems are currently under development by most automotive manufacturers around the world. This paper presents a brake control for a collision avoidance(CA) system. The proposed brake control has been compared to a simple CA algorithm which use on/off binary brake control. Nonlinear control techniques have been used to minimize driver discomfort during braking in a CA system.<br/>
