In a world of rapid developments in the field of vehicle safety, robust and reliable methods are essential to evaluate the safety effects in real traffic. Only with significant evidence-based findings can OEMs, governments and consumers act to encourage the most important systems. The Euro NCAP Validating Vehicle Safety using Meta-Analysis (VVSMA) consortium was assembled, comprising a collaboration of government, industry consumer organisations and researchers, using pooled data from a number of countries and the established MUNDS method. Technologies of immediate interest included low speed autonomous emergency braking (low speed AEB or AEB City), and Lane Departure Warning (LDW) technologies in current model passenger vehicles. Real-world crash data were assembled by 6 countries for the analyses and induced exposure methods were adopted to control for any extraneous effects. To date, the findings for AEB City technology found that while individual countries analyses failed to show significant reductions in crashes, robust statistically significant reductions were found overall from the meta-analysis due to the increase in the amount of data. The analysis for Lane Departure Warning technology is currently in process. Greater difficulty is experienced with evaluating this technology due to it only being available as optional equipment. The findings show how safety benefit analyses can be performed in a timely manner, using data from many countries in a meta-analysis procedure.
