The objective of this study is to create simulated scenarios that resemble the real-world Indian accident scenarios and evaluate the Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) system in those new scenarios. The dataset considered is from the RASSI (Road Accident Sampling System – India) database. A total of 120 real-world cases are queried using relevant parameters where AEB system will be applicable and for each case PC-Crash reconstructed data is obtained.
In a given real-world case, a new test vehicle is introduced apart from the vehicles involved in the crash in order to create a simulated scenario and the test vehicle follows the crashed passenger car. The simulated scenarios are parameterised based on distance gap and relative velocity between the test vehicle and passenger car vehicle and also braking threshold of test vehicle.
For every simulated scenario, AEB system is integrated to test vehicle which can intervene fully by applying braking at 1g. The benefit assessment is captured either by collision avoidance or collision mitigation. In 2017, authors evaluated the benefit assessment of the AEB system in real-world scenarios. In the present study, for wider applicability, AEB system is evaluated in complex simulated scenario which are generated based on realworld accident data.
