AEB System Benefit Analysis:
Research Findings:
-
Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) systems offer some benefits in reduction of fatalities.
-
Benefits are much more likely to accrue to older cyclists than younger.
-
The peak benefits for all groups occur in the range from closing speeds of about 15-22 mph.
-
It is suggested that the system will not generate a large reduction in fatalities or social cost.
