Vehicle Assessment Using Integrated Crash Avoidance and Crashworthiness Pedestrian Safety Test Procedures
Source: National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)
Summarizes pedestrian automatic emergency braking (PAEB) and crashworthiness (CW) test protocols, assessing vehicle safety systems' potential to reduce pedestrian risk in pedestrian-vehicle crashes. Explores a method for evaluating contact-induced safety features like deployable hood systems, offering insights into real-world performance. Findings suggest that PAEB and CW countermeasures decrease the likelihood of fatal pedestrian injuries.
