Autonomous Emergency Brake (AEB) for Pedestrian for ASEAN NCAP Safety Rating Consideration: A Review

Abstract

Road crossings are considered as an unavoidable part of walking in which the desirable route of pedestrians interacts with vehicles. This interaction may expose the pedestrians to risks or delays. Pedestrian- vehicle collisions are regarded as the most serious type of accidents since they incur high fatality rate of nearly 13 percent. This study has been carried out to fulfil two objectives. First, to identify the contributing factors to road crash, and second, to understand the implementation and effectiveness of a preventive device to reduce road crashes involving pedestrians. Collision avoidance and mitigation systems such as the AEB are intended to reduce accident risks by automatically applying the brakes prior to an accident. Understanding the human action, style and behaviour are the key elements in producing the ideal AEB Pedestrian for the future. This study sheds light on the future direction in the area of road safety by considering preventive actions to reduce the occurrence of road crashes, particularly among pedestrians.
