AAA Research Shows Reverse Automatic Emergency Braking Isn’t Foolproof Recent research conducted by AAA focused on evaluating the effectiveness of reverse automatic emergency braking (AEB) systems equipped with rear cross-traffic mitigation in four popular 2023 model-year vehicles. These systems are designed to reduce rear-end collisions by automatically applying brakes when encountering obstacles while reversing. The study aimed to assess their performance in scenarios involving backing out of parking spaces with obstructed views and encountering stationary obstacles such as child pedestrians. Results indicated that the reverse AEB systems engaged brakes in 65% of backing-up test runs and prevented collisions in 2.5% of cases when the subject vehicle crossed behind the test vehicle. Similarly, when encountering stationary child pedestrians, the systems applied brakes in 75% of instances and prevented collisions in 50% of cases. However, AAA emphasized that drivers should not solely rely on these systems but rather use them to supplement their awareness of surroundings. They recommended cautious backing up, especially when views are obstructed, and urged the automotive industry to enhance testing standards to ensure the effectiveness of these safety features in various real-world scenarios.

#snsinstitution #snsdesignthinking #snsdesignthinker #snsct AUTOMATIC BRAKING SYSTEM IN AUTOMOBILES Automatic brakes are one of many car safety features, and are often integrated with other technology, such as pre-collision systems and adaptive cruise control. Even though each car manufacturer has its own technology when it comes to automatic braking systems, they all use sensory input as a starting point. Depending on the manufacturer, a system uses sensors such as laser, radar, or even video data, to determine if there are any objects in front of the vehicle. For example, the system monitors traffic in front of the vehicle and assesses the possibility of a collision. An automatic braking system can also connect with a vehicle's GPS system, and use its database of stops signs and other traffic information, in order to activate the brakes in time if the driver fails to.

This ZF driving function offers safe and comfortable lane changes. 👇 👉 ZF’s Level 2+ Lane Change Assist is capable of driver-initiated and system-initiated lane changes. ❗ It monitors traffic in adjacent lanes before and during the lane change, identifying and approaching safe gaps. The system relies on 360° surveillance using advanced sensor technology. 💪 Even complex road topologies can be driven smoothly with the assistance of HD maps. 🦺 Additionally, the function can bring the vehicle to a safe stop on the hard shoulder when needed. 🚗 ZF offers a variety of different automated driving and safety functions, either integrated or as a stand-alone solution. We will present these functions that enable increased comfort and safety here on LinkedIn in the coming weeks. #FunctionsFriday #ADAS #AutomatedDriving

In the world of ADAS-equipped vehicles, the rules of the game are changing. 🔄? It's not just about making repairs – it's about making the right repairs according to the OEM's strict specifications. Before you pick up that sander or mix your paint, double-check the vehicle manufacturer’s repair procedures. 📖? Your average bumper job? It might just affect the radar sensors and compromise vehicle safety—something we all want to avoid! Let's make sure every vehicle leaves our shops as safe as the day it rolled off the assembly line. 🛡?️ #AutomotiveRepair #SafetyFirst #VehicleMaintenance https://lnkd.in/ecQQMZ5S

Imagine this scenario, but there is no camera. Aerial imaging and mapping would certainly provide a clear understanding of the scene location and roadway markings, especially as participants and witnesses describe the event and observations. Imagine having high resolution 2D and 3D models for witnesses to refer to during testimony. Observations from the video: Front Airbag deployment = increased DeltaV, and Pedestrian - up and over, as opposed to under and out...

Safe System Snippet - AEB vs the sun  Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) is a game-changer when it comes to crash prevention, but its effectiveness under sun glare deserves attention.     While AEB scans roads for potential collisions, sun glare can disrupt its sensors, hindering its ability to react in time. Some factors to think about:  ⚠ Sensor Type: Camera-based systems are more susceptible than radar.  ⚠ Sensor Location: Windshield placement increases glare exposure.  ⚠ Software Limitations: Glare-distorted data can be misinterpreted.    In a 2022 study titled; A Systematic Review of Autonomous Emergency Braking System: Impact Factor, Technology, and Performance Evaluation, Yang et al., investigated environmental factors impacting AEB performance. They also looked at key features, driver factors and the future paths for protecting vulnerable road users and handling more complex scenarios.    ------------- Follow Safe System Solutions Pty Ltd. for more Safe System Snippets.     #roadsafety #trafficsafety #AEB #safesystem #SafeSystemSnippet

Today, camera-based technology assists the driver in reacting to his surroundings. Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) use cameras and sensors to accurately detect and recognize other vehicles, pedestrians, traffic signs, and more. In this setting, our Ultrawide (HFOV 198”) standard camera model with fisheye effect is capable of enabling Surround View and Rear View applications, enhancing safety measures. Birdeye view with its 360-degree top-down view, Automated Parking Assist or even Automated Valet Parking can be implemented in vehicles with this camera.
