• Abstract:
  This project examines the characterization testing of automatic emergency braking and blind spot intervention (BSI) system performance when encountering a 2-wheeled principal other vehicle (POV) in either a rear-end crash or lane change crash scenario. Tests conducted represented variations on the NHTSA crash imminent braking (CIB) and BSI test procedures using bicycle and motorcycle surrogates as the POV as a comparison with the passenger vehicle test device. Variables tested included speed (10 km/h to 80 km/h), POV lateral offset, position of POV behind a passenger vehicle test device, and lighting conditions. Testing was conducted for 5 light vehicles representing a mix of body styles and sensor systems (both camera-only and camera-radar fusion). For rear-end crash scenarios, the results suggest that there is no consistent pattern across systems tested in response to the 2-wheeled POVs with collision avoidance demonstrated, but not consistently across variables tested. However, those results generally indicate collision avoidance at higher speeds in response to the passenger vehicle test device than in response to the 2-wheeled POVs. Results for the BSI systems tested did not demonstrate strong patterns for identifying or responding to 2-wheeled POVs.
