AEB (Automatic Emergency Braking) is an active safety technology. According to the estimation of the vehicle's collision risk, the vehicle automatically implements the braking by controlling the vehicle's braking mechanism to avoid or reduce the severity of the collision. The analysis of the CAN bus signal is a necessary method to deeply study the internal control strategy of the vehicle. Research on the AEB control strategy based on CAN bus signal analysis is beneficial to promote AEB control technology, and at the same time, it is helpful to improve the benchmarking technology level of self‐owned brands. Taking the AEB test of an advanced vehicle as an example, this paper introduces the technology of test program design, parsing CAN bus signals and key test equipment installation, which is of great significance for improving the research level of the vehicle AEB control strategy.
