Effects of Technology on Drivers' Behavior during Backing Maneuvers Yasuhiro Matsui — National Traffic Safety and Environment Laboratory, Japan Shoko Oikawa — Tokyo Metropolitan University, Japan Abstract This paper examines how vehicle backing technologies affect driver performance during backing maneuvers. We conducted experiments using sport utility vehicles (SUV) with four technological variations: a baseline vehicle (B-L), a vehicle equipped with a parking sensor (PS-V), a vehicle equipped with a backup camera (hereafter BC-V), and a vehicle equipped with both…

Application of Deep Learning Methods for Pedestrian Collision Detection Using Dashcam Videos Shouhei Kunitomi and Shinichi Takayama — Japan Automobile Research Institute Masayuki Shirakawa — Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association, Inc. Abstract The goal of this study is to clarify the usefulness of deep learning methods for pedestrian collision detection using dashcam videos for advanced automatic collision notification, focusing on pedestrians, as they make up the highest number of traffic fatalities in Japan. First, we created a dataset for deep learning from dashcam…

Kinematic and Injury Response of Reclined PMHS in Frontal Impacts Rachel Richardson, John-Paul Donlon, Mohan Jayathirtha, Jason L. Forman, Greg Shaw, Bronislaw Gepner, and Jason R. Kerrigan — University of Virginia Center for Applied Biomechanics Martin Östling, Krystoffer Mroz, and Bengt Pipkorn — Autoliv Development AB Abstract Frontal impacts with reclined occupants are rare but severe, and they are anticipated to become more common with the introduction of vehicles with automated driving capabilities. Computational and physical human surrogates are needed…

Evaluation of Rotation Reduction Features in Infant and Extended-Use Convertible Child Restraint Systems during Frontal and Rear Impacts Declan A. Patton, Aditya N. Belwadi, and Jalaj Maheshwari — Center for Injury Research and Prevention, Children's Hospital of Philadelphia Kristy B. Arbogast — Center for Injury Research and Prevention, Children's Hospital of Philadelphia/Perelman School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania Abstract A correctly used child restraint system (CRS) is associated with a substantial reduction of injury and mortality risks in motor vehicle crashes and epidemiologic data suggests that toddlers are…

Analysis of Kinematic Response of Pediatric Occupants Seated in Naturalistic Positions in Simulated Frontal Small Offset Impacts: With and Without Automatic Emergency Braking Maheshwari, J., Sarfare, S., and Belwadi, A. — Center for Injury Research and Prevention, Children's Hospital of Philadelphia Falciani, C. — Center for Injury Research and Prevention, Children's Hospital of Philadelphia/School of Computing and Informatics, Drexel University Abstract Naturalistic driving studies have shown that pediatric occupants do not assume ideal seating positions in real-world scenarios. Current vehicle assessment programs and child restraint system (CRS) sled tests, such as FMVSS No….

Variations in User Implementation of the CORA Rating Metric Devon L. Albert — Center for Injury Biomechanics, Department of Biomedical Engineering and Mechanics, Virginia Tech Abstract The CORA rating metric is frequently used in the field of injury biomechanics to compare the similarity of response time histories. However, subjectivity exists within the CORA metric in the form of user-customizable parameters that give the metric the flexibility to be used for a variety of applications. How these parameters are customized…
