Triggering algorithm based on inevitable collision states for autonomous emergency braking (AEB) in motorcycle-to-car crashes

This study presents a triggering algorithm for a collaborative, motorcycle-to-car collision avoidance system that slows down the car without input of the driver when the collision becomes imminent. The algorithm is based on the concept of inevitable state collisions. Example applications of the proposed algorithm were obtained via 2D computer simulations representing a data set of real crashes occurred in Italy, Sweden and Australia. Results indicated that the proposed method can apply to typical crash scenarios.
