Pedestrian crash avoidance falters at night
Automatic emergency braking (AEB) systems that can detect pedestrians are preventing pedestrian crashes — but only in the daytime or on well-lit roads.
In all light conditions, crash rates for pedestrian crashes of all severities were 27 percent lower for vehicles equipped with pedestrian AEB than for unequipped vehicles, a new study from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety found. Injury crash rates were 30 percent lower. However, when the researchers looked only at pedestrian crashes that occurred at night on roads without streetlights, there was no difference in crash risk for vehicles with and without pedestrian AEB.
Recently, IIHS conducted a series of research tests to help design the planned nighttime pedestrian AEB evaluation. Those tests provide additional evidence that today’s pedestrian AEB systems don’t work as well in the dark as they do in daylight.
The Institute is now developing a nighttime test, with plans to publish the first official nighttime pedestrian crash prevention ratings later this year.
