• Abstract:
  This report documents the work completed by the Crash Avoidance Metrics Partnership (CAMP) Crash Imminent Braking (CIB) Consortium during the project titled “Objective Tests for Forward Looking Pedestrian Crash Avoidance/Mitigation Systems.” Participating companies in the CIB Consortium were Continental, Delphi Corporation, Ford Motor Company, General Motors, and Mercedes-Benz. The purpose of the project was to attempt to define minimum performance requirements and objective test procedures for pedestrian crash avoidance and mitigations systems. Two types of tests were examined in this study. Functional tests evaluate the intended performance of pedestrian crash avoidance/mitigation (PCAM) systems in their ability to avoid or mitigate a potential pedestrian crash. Operational tests assess the propensity of a PCAM system to trigger false (unintentional) activations where no system activation is desired. Based on data obtained during test track and on-road testing, test procedures were recommended for both types of tests.
