Abstract

The Powered Two Wheeler Integrated Safety (PISa) project is developing an integrated safety system for a range of powered two wheelers (PTWs). This system includes state of the art sensors, innovative warning devices and rider assistance systems.

This paper reports on the design of the decision logic for deploying autonomous braking (AB) and enhanced braking (EB) safety functions in the PISa system, for a PTW travelling towards leading obstacle, using on-board inertial measurement unit (IMU) and Laserscanner.

The decision logic deploys the AB and EB systems based on a theoretical kinematic parameter: the required deceleration to avoid a collision. The criterion for deployment is to trigger the AB and EB systems when the collision is physically unavoidable.

The decision logic is tested off-line for datasets acquired using the PTW integrated with the IMU and the Laserscanner.
