e-Safety - WG Sub-group 1Autonomous In-vehicle
Technologies

• Intelligent Passive Safety Technologies
• - Airbag Control Unit, crash compatibility, seat
  belts tensioner
• examples pre-crash sensing, optimised deployment
  adapted to crash conditions comprising
  preventive systems for protection of vulnerable
  road users, Anticipated alerting or activation
  like reduced time-to-fire after crash.

  roll stability control, road surface monitoring
  (loss of traction alarms)

10
e-Safety - WG Sub-group 1Autonomous In-vehicle
Technologies

• Impact assessment of autonomous in vehicle
  technologies on traffic safety
• - No consistent input received
• - US IVI assessment per function
• - NL Ministry of Transport assessment per
  function
• - Industry perception is missing
• - RTD projects are working on it but approach is
  academic

11
e-Safety - WG Sub-group 1Autonomous In-vehicle
Technologies

• Limits and bottlenecks preventing integrated
  safety systems to be deployed in the market( from
  RESPONSE)
• - 5 basic requirements have to be met by the
  systems
• - Reliability
• - Robustness (malfunction/misuse)
• - Perceptibility (HMI)
• - Comprehensibility/Predictability
  (syst.funct.)
• - Controllability (in any situation)

12
e-Safety - WG Sub-group 1Autonomous In-vehicle
Technologies

• Limits and Bottlenecks
• - Instruction to the driver on how to use ADAS
• - Legal issue of market introduction of ADAS
• - Information Warning systems
• - Overridable Das intervention systems
• - Non Overridable DAS Intervention systems
• - Regulatory barriers for market introduction of
  ADAS
• - Standardisation of 24GHz short range radar

13
e-Safety - WG Sub-group 1Autonomous In-vehicle
Technologies

• Missing elements in the report
• - Contribution of the industry on the State of
  the art systems and technologies
• most of input is from EU RTD
• - Contribution of the industry on expected
  developments and RTD needs
• - Consistent Impact assessment is missing
• - Limits and bottlenecks not complete especially
  on the technical side

14
e-Safety - WG Sub-group 1Autonomous In-vehicle
Technologies

• Points to be discussed
• - Is the heading 2nd Generation Integrated safety
  systems including ADAS of clear understanding?
• - Is the presentation of ADAS by Function a good
  starting point?
• - What information exists and has not been
  provided?
• - What need to be done for the impact assessment?
• - Would it be possible to include the maturity of
  a function/technology in the report?
