Estimated benefit of automated emergency braking systems for vehicle-pedestrian crashes in the United States.

Conclusions: Though not all crashes could be avoided, AEB significantly mitigated risk to pedestrians. The longer the TTC of braking and the shorter the latency value, the higher benefits showed by the AEB system. All AEB models used in this study were estimated to reduce fatalities and injuries and were more effective when combined with driver braking. PMID: 31381447 [PubMed - in process]
