Japan presents the current status of Advanced Emergency Braking System (AEBS) testing for passenger vehicles in night-time conditions under the Japan New Car Assessment Program (JNCAP). The document describes test procedures for car-to-pedestrian scenarios, including car-to-pedestrian farside (CPF) and car-to-pedestrian farside obstructed (CPFO) scenarios, conducted with and without street lighting. Test speeds range from 30 to 60 km/h. Test conditions specify tolerances for vehicle velocity, pedestrian target velocity, lateral position, collision point, yaw rate, steering angular velocity, and braking temperature.
Presentation of traffic accident data for car-to-pedestrian collisions occurring at night in Japan. Approximately 65 to 70 per cent of traffic accidents for car to pedestrian in Japan occur at night-time. The data cover the 10-year period from 2015 to 2024 and analyse obstruction, pedestrian direction of crossing, collision point, walking speed, and age. Seventy per cent of pedestrians cross from the right at night. Accidents involving children aged 12 and under are extremely rare. Vehicle speeds range from 30 km/h to 60 km/h without obstruction and 40 km/h to 50 km/h with obstruction. The proportion of passenger cars equipped with AEBS night-time is approximately half.
Proposal from the FADS task force to update the text for application to certain ADS vehicles.
