Overall SAFE-UP impact (Deliverable 5.6)
Report, 2023

This deliverable shows the effectiveness of the SAFE-UP technologies with respect to the scenarios in which the technologies are being assessed, the larger categories of accident type (e.g., car-to-pedestrian crashes), and all fatalities or killed or severely injured in road traffic within the EU. It was found that, when adding an in-lane evasion functionality to a generic AEB and V2X communication to increase the vehicle sensing capabilities, an additional 8 to 16% of killed or severely injured pedestrians or cyclists can be avoided in scenarios where the VRU crosses the street, and 5 to 16% of the fatalities for cyclist crossing scenarios, even though the AEB is already very effective and avoids the majority of cases. Furthermore, it was shown that using the improved restraint systems developed in SAFE-UP and including an AEB in reclined sitting positions does not increase the injury risk in comparison to state-of-the-art restraint systems without AEB, thus allowing passengers to assume the reclined sitting position.
