29 Example of Active Safety System Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) AEB has already matured and is already in many production vehicles Euro-NCAP has carried out City and Inter-urban AEB assessments in 2014 and will add Pedestrian assessment in 2016 To avoid the driving comfort and customer acceptance runoff due to too early intervene, current pre-crash systems can only prevent accidents from happening in a limited degree. When velocity is relative high, it can only mitigate the crash, instead of avoidance. 29

30 Active, passive & integrated safety Hazard Detection Collision Avoidance Collision Mitigation Injury Mitigation Active Safety Impact Passive Safety Time Aims at avoiding collision Techniques under devt/upgrade Adaptive front light (AFL) Night vision (NV), Adaptive cruise control (ACC), Lane-departure warning (LDW), Emergency Brake Assist (EBA), Lane-Keeping Support (LKS) Pedestrian detection, Blind-spot detection (BSD), Rear collision warning (RCW), Lane-Change Assist (LCA), Park Assist (PA), Traffic-sign-recognition (TSR), Integrated Safety Protect occupant during crash Body crashworthiness restraint systems Restraint systems or pedestrian protection devices can be better deployed using pre-crash information 30
