Strategy 2020: Target Actions
• Vehicle Safety Ratings
– Cornerstone of Euro NCAP‘s strategy
• Advanced Rewards
– Instrument to give rewards for new technology
• Campaigns
– Raise costumer awareness on peripheral topics
• Consultation
• International Cooperation

Articulated Dummy
• VRU AEB protocol has been developed with a static
(non-animated) dummy
• Static dummy is much more complex to detect than
an animated dummy
– Change of contrast foreground-background during walking
motion
→ Is in real life used for fast pedestrian detec�on
– Moving legs generate locally oscilating speeds
→ Is in real life used for object classifica�on
• Animated dummy is currently developed for 2016 or
2017 or 2018 implementa9on (≠ road map)

Night and obscure lighting
National accident data from Germany and GB (averaged) of years 2008-2010

Crashes in dark light conditions are
prominent with regard to high
pedestrian injury severity.

AEB Testing: Bicycles
• Test scenarios under investigation
– Representative for EU28
– Different sources needed
– Harmonization!
• Bicycle dummy and
propulsion system
under development
• Implementation
planned for 2018Source: TNO / http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y4tpvhWYEzc

AEB Pedestrian Testing: Night
• Accident data shows street lights are present in
the majority of cases!
• Accident data shows higher car speeds at night
• Other accident types (Turning? Walking along?)
• Implementation 2018

AEB C2C and VRU: Case Study Mopeds
• 20% of European traffic fatalities are riders of
Mopeds/Motorcycles (=PTWs)
– Euro NCAP will perform a case study ~ 2017/2018

All Protocols: HMI Guidelines
• Safety Critical HMI Guidelines for 2017
• Applicable to all ADAS protocols
• Older population will be taken into account
• Consultation with industry
