Abstract

With recent rise in the deployment of vehicles equipped with Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS), there has been a lot of researches on the effects of the Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) system for passenger injury. From this perspective, the study developed scenarios for AEB activation and simulated passenger injuries. The research focused on the analysis of how three primary variables-the seating angle of the passenger, the speed of the vehicle, and the timing of airbag deployment-affect the severity of passenger injuries. The analysis of injury data and the application of machine learning models are conducted to predict the optimal timing of airbag deployment based on specific seating angles of passengers and vehicle speeds. The objective is to explore the feasibility of adjusting the timing of airbag deployment in real-time within AEB systems. Based on machine learning, the prediction model can improve the passenger injury accroding to passenger seating angle and vehicle speed. This study shows the potential for the adjustments in airbag deployment timing to improve the effectiveness of AEB systems to mitigate injuries during accidents.
