Effectiveness of a post-crash braking system in rear-end collisions in Japan

Twenty-eight percent of traffic accidents in Japan are rear-end collisions, and 13% of these are multiple collisions (three or more vehicles and/or roadside objects). A post-crash braking system enables the driver to stop the vehicle in a short distance after a rear-end collision to prevent secondary collisions. In this study, the effectiveness of a post-crash braking system was examined using a drive recorder database. In 64% of rear-end collisions, the driver’s braking was interrupted after the collision. It is estimated that the brake assistance of the post-crash system would be effective in 21% of cases to prevent a secondary collision. Nevertheless, this system cannot avoid a secondary collision in accidents at sufficiently high speed, but it does reduce their severity.
