Analysis of OEM Collision Avoidance Data Outputs during VRU Testing

Using OEM tools to analyze data available from on-vehicle collision avoidance systems can shed light on the data scope that is available to analyze failures in these systems. In this work, an Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS)-equipped vehicle was tested to determine the performance in several collision imminent scenarios. Vehicle Event Data Recorder (EDR) data was pulled and compared to data collected from independent instrumentation to determine the vehicle system accuracy in detecting targets, investigate timings, and understand the scope of data available to an agency investigating a failure. Images and data files are presented as an example of scope of output. Tests included several variable overlap tests, along with several tests specifically chosen due to compare performance across the operating design domain.
