Abstract

Road fatalities are reduced, but the number of bicyclists and pedestrians killed or severely injured is at an unchanged level. The introduction of active safety functions is believed to further reduce fatalities among car occupants. There are presently no active safety functions for protecting bicyclists. Test methods will be a key enabler to show that novel safety functions for bicyclists have the possibility to reduce and mitigate accidents. The most relevant accident scenarios must be identified. Test procedures and bicycle test targets are needed. (Author/publisher)
