On the other hand the systems which assist the driver during an evaluation should result in a proposal for a emergency situation.

Prepared for: Federal Highway Administration Office of Safety Under: Contract DTFH61‐05‐D‐00024 Task Order T‐10‐001 July 15, 2010 FOREWORD (To be prepared by FHWA) NOTICE This document is disseminated under the sponsorship of the U.S. Department of Transportation in the interest of information exchange. The United States Government assumes no liability for its contents or use thereof. The contents of this report reflect the views of the author, who is responsible for the accuracy of the data presented herein. The contents do not necessarily reflect the official policy of the Department of Transportation. i PREFACE While many highway safety stakeholder organizations have their own strategic highway safety plans, there is not a singular strategy that unites all of these common efforts. FHWA began the dialogue towards creating a national strategic highway safety plan at a workshop in Savannah, Georgia, on September 2‐3, 2009. The majority of participants expressed that there should be a highway safety vision to which the nation aspire, even if at that point in the process it was not clear how or when it could be realized. The Savannah group concluded that the elimination of highway deaths is the appropriate goal, as even one death is unacceptable. With this input from over 70 workshop participants and further discussions with the Steering Committee following the workshop, the name of this effort became “Toward Zero Deaths: A National Strategy on Highway Safety.” The National Strategy on Highway Safety is to be data‐driven and incorporate education, enforcement, engineering, and emergency medical services.

  • Simulator Comparison
    Final Report for AAA-FTS Rating Project MIT AgeLab Technical Report: 2013-27C Proposed System for the Objective Evaluation of the Safety Benefits of Technologies and Initial Rating Values Bruce Mehler, Bryan Reimer, Martin Lavallière, Jonathan Dobres, & Joseph F. Coughlin Initial Report: December 31, 2013 Revised: June 20, 2014 The AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety tasked the MIT AgeLab with developing a data- driven system for rating new in-vehicle technologies, analogous to NCAP crashworthiness, but extended to scalar evaluations of the objective safety benefits of emerging safety technologies (e.g., adaptive headlights, back-up cameras, lane-departure warning). Such a system was envisioned as having the potential to educate and guide consumers towards more confident and strategic purchasing decisions that may enhance automotive safety. Moreover, an evaluation of the status and extent of existing data on these safety systems was seen as a way of identifying possible research gaps in the present state of knowledge. This report provides an overview of key project activities and observations made to date. It then details the concepts and methods upon which the proposed rating system is based. The system is further developed by applying it to the rating of a set of seven safety relevant technologies. The resulting ratings and documentation concerning the data used in making the ratings provide insight into the current status of our understanding of the actual safety benefits of the technologies. These initial ratings also provide a means of evaluating the extent to which the current scaling methodology and values appear to meet the project objectives. Possible reasons for considering adjustment of present scaling values and other rating relevant issues are discussed.

  • Benefit Estimation Model for Pedestrian Auto Brake Functionality
    Benefit Estimation Model for Pedestrian Auto Brake Functionality M Lindman*, A Ödblom*, E Bergvall*, A Eidehall*, B Svanberg* and T Lukaszewicz** *Volvo Car Corporation, SE-405 31 Goteborg, Sweden ** Ford-Werke GmbH, Henry-Ford-Straße 1, 50735 Köln, Germany Abstract Accident data shows that the vast majority of pedestrian accidents involve a passenger car. A refined method for estimating the potential effectiveness of a technology designed to support the car driver in mitigating or avoiding pedestrian accidents is presented. The basis of the benefit prediction method consists of accident scenario information for pedestrian-passenger car accidents from GIDAS, including vehicle and pedestrian velocities. These real world pedestrian accidents were first reconstructed and the system effectiveness was determined by comparing injury outcome with and without the functionality enabled for each accident. The predictions from Volvo Cars’ general Benefit Estimation Model are refined by including the actual system algorithm and sensing models for a relevant car in the simulation environment. The feasibility of the method is proven by a case study on a authentic technology; the Auto Brake functionality in Collision Warning with Full Auto Brake and Pedestrian Detection (CWAB-PD). Assuming the system is adopted by all vehicles, the Case Study indicates a ~24% reduction in pedestrian fatalities for crashes where the pedestrians were struck by the front of a passenger car. INTRODUCTION Road traffic accidents involving Vulnerable Road Users are one of the world's largest health problems. Of all road traffic fatalities, between 41% and 75% worldwide [1] and 14% in the EU-14 countries [2] are pedestrians. Passenger cars are with 74% reported as the most frequent collision opponents in fatal pedestrian accidents [3].

The United Nations announced a “Decade of Action” 2011 to 2020 for Road Safety to reduce The conventional Brake Assist System (BAS) was the number of 1.3 million people killed in road developed by Mercedes-Benz and became standard crashes every year. 90% of them happen in equipment of all Mercedes-Benz passenger cars in developing countries. Road fatalities are just the tip 1997. In its further development it was of an iceberg. They bring a variety of other accidents supplemented by radar sensors and adaptive brake in their train.

Their share in any accident involving 2009 (autonomous full braking) and 2011 injuries or fatalities makes about 23% in Germany, (expansion of the limits of the functions). about 28% in the U.S., about 32% in Japan and about 33% in China. (see Fig. 1) After several years of proving itself in real world accidents situations it is time to compare the prognosis of its real-world effectiveness in avoiding or mitigating the severity of rear-end collisions with the real-world results as well as discussing the expected effectiveness of the enlargements of the advanced brake assist systems to new accident situations.
