Evaluation of the crash mitigation effect of low-speed automated emergency braking systems based on insurance claims data.

CONCLUSIONS: This study adds important information about the safety performance of collision avoidance technologies, beyond the number of crashes avoided. By combining insurance claims data and information from spare parts used, the study demonstrates a mitigating effect of low-speed AEB in real-world traffic. PMID: 27586101 [PubMed - in process]
