Research on key scenario generation and simulation of automatic emergency braking function test under rain and fog weather conditions

“…introduce ADAS intervention criteria which are based on the occupants' injury risk (IR): in a specific road scenario, the ADAS must primarily avoid the collision with maximum margin and minimize IR in the case of an ICS. Analyzing three ICS conditions, it is shown that the adaptive logic, differing from an autonomous emergency braking, aims at creating eccentrical impacts with minimum ∆V [3] . Applying STPA to autonomous vehicles demonstrates STPA's applicability to preliminary hazard analysis, alternative available, developmental tests, organizational design, and functional design of each unique safety operation.…”
