Safety Assessment and a Parametric Study of Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist Based on Real-World Crash Simulations

Table 5

Output parameters measured from the simulations.

Output parameters (variable name)	Definition
Crash occurrence (crash)	0: no crash; 1: rear-end crash occurred
Crash deformation energy (E)	The vehicle damage measured using impact parameters
Injury severity (MAIS 2+)	Maximum abbreviated injury scale measured directly from ∆Vsv
AEB activation (AEB)	0: off; 1: on
Warning range	DTC for FCW activation
Brake range	DTC for AEB activation
Warning time	TTC to activate the FCW
Brake time	TTC to activate the AEB

DTC: distance to collision; TTC: time to collision
