Integrated vehicle safety systems that combine elements from primary and secondary safety have a high potential to improve vehicle safety, due to their ability to influence crash conditions and/or to adapt to these crash conditions. So far no standard evaluation procedures have been developed and implemented. The main goal of the ASSESS project is to develop harmonized and standardized assessment procedures for related collision mitigation and avoidance systems. Procedures are developed for:• Driver behavior evaluation • Pre-crash system performance evaluation • Crash performance evaluation • Socio-economic assessment This paper presents the activities related to the "Pre-Crash evaluation". The objective is to provide a tool box for the specific evaluation of the pre-crash performance of collision mitigation and avoidance systems and their contribution to the overall system performance.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
