Summary
A new test equipment set was developed to evaluate pedestrian-automatic emergency braking (PAEB) systems for pedestrian protection. This equipment accurately assesses PAEB performance according to C-NCAP (2018) standards.
Area of Science:
- Automotive Safety Engineering
- Robotics and Control Systems
Background:
- Pedestrian protection is a critical aspect of vehicle safety.
- Existing test methods require robust equipment for accurate evaluation of advanced driver-assistance systems.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop and validate test equipment for evaluating pedestrian-automatic emergency braking (PAEB) systems.
- To ensure compliance with China-New Car Assessment Program (C-NCAP) 2018 test requirements.
Main Methods:
- Developed specialized PAEB test equipment.
- Utilized global positioning system (GPS) differential positioning for accuracy.
- Implemented wireless communication for collaborative control with automated driving robots (ADR).
- Employed S-shaped-curve velocity control for dummy target motion.
Main Results:
- The developed test equipment demonstrated high accuracy and precision in simulations and field tests.
- Dummy target movement was smooth and stable, meeting C-NCAP (2018) requirements.
- The equipment successfully facilitated the evaluation of a vehicle under test's (VUT) automatic emergency braking (AEB) performance.
Conclusions:
- The developed PAEB test equipment effectively evaluates pedestrian-automatic emergency braking system performance.
- The equipment meets the rigorous standards set by C-NCAP (2018) for safety testing.
- This validated equipment contributes to improving pedestrian safety through reliable AEB system assessment.
