ADVANCING ACTIVE SAFETY AND TESTING METHODOLOGIES TOWARDS THE PROTECTION OF VULNERABLE ROAD USERS

PROBLEM VS. SOLUTION

In 2017, 21% of road fatalities on EU roads were pedestrians and 8% cyclists [1].
Until a few years ago AEB was an exotic and rare auto feature. Today 30 % of new cars are fitted with AEB as a standard [2].
…An idea is to call for safer vehicle standards such as mandatory fitment of AEB, ISA … a solid framework for automated driving.
