A Novel Scoring Method for Pedestrian Automatic Emergency Braking Systems

Recently, the research and development of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) have been studied extensively. Many such features, including lane-keeping assist (LKA), automatic emergency braking (AEB) systems, are made available in commercial vehicles. Due to their complex nature and different design principles, the performance of different in-vehicle ADAS systems varies significantly. In this paper, we proposed a novel scoring method for AEB systems for pedestrians, which considers and integrates three key variables: 1) Percentage of kinetic energy reduction; 2) Deceleration margin, and 3) Driving smoothness. This method takes the scoring schemes of on-road testing as a reference, which provides a more comprehensive method when assessing the system performance. Field test data is also collected and analyzed to show the calculation procedure and the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
