Cost Benefit Evaluation of Advanced Primary Safety Systems: Final Report

This report presents a project entitled The Evaluation of Safety System Technologies, which took a "bottom-up" approach to evaluating advanced safety technology by analysing a small number of specific systems claiming to have significant safety benefits for intelligent vehicles. The target population of casualties and cost benefit information for these systems was estimated using primarily in-depth accident data and then scaling the results up to national level, while adjusting for under-reporting. As part of this study, potential casualty benefits have been evaluated and compared to the likely system fitment costs for four separate advanced primary safety technologies, as follows: 1) Advanced Emergency Brake Systems (AEBS) for passenger cars - AEBS1 - with potential to mitigate/avoid all moving target rear shunts, but those with stationary targets only if closing speed is 40 mph or less; AEBS2 - with potential to mitigate/avoid all rear shunt impacts regardless of whether shunted target vehicle is stationary or not; 2) Pedestrian capable AEBS for passenger cars - 0.6s/1s/2s systems which applies full braking 0.6s/1s/2s before a detected, imminent impact with a pedestrian; 3) Lane Departure Warning Systems for passenger cars; and 4) Youth/Family key.
