A Novel Approach for the Test of Active Pedestrian Safety Systems
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "IEEE Transactions on Intelligent Transportation Systems"
DOI: 10.1109/tits.2016.2606439
Abstract: Active pedestrian safety systems are based on a variety of sensor systems and detection algorithm approaches. The activation of, e.g., an emergency brake is a critical decision. Therefore, such applications must be tested very responsibly.… read more here.
