Example of testing

Example: AEB Detection
Uses Camera and Radar to measure distance to car ahead
Measures directly forward in a straight line
Example: AEB distance
Measures distance and speed to calculate minimum stoppage distance
Example: AEB Testing
Minimum speed to activate AEB:- Stationary dummy car- Slow moving Volvo XC90
Testing variance in AEB activationTesting human driver trust in AEB
AEB testing: slow speed <30 mph
Weather conditions affect ABS:- Test in inclement
weatherTesting affects of weather on ABS variance
AEB testing: Slow speed <30 mph
Size of obstacle may affect detection and thus automatic braking
Using two inflatables as dummy pedestrians
Proposed use
Testing and demonstrations on emergency runway- Set up/Take down each day- No interference with seed demo- Low-speed testing
- U of Iowa insured for on-road use- Human subject testing covered by
Institutional Review Board at UI- Approximately 12-15 days per year- Would schedule in advance
