Description
Summary:	Vehicle-to-TW accidents are one of the largest components of traffic accidents system in China, which always leads to severe accident consequences because the cyclists are vulnerable road users and drive at a high collision velocity. With the development of information and communication technology, automated Emergency Braking (AEB) system has been applied to modern vehicles, which can perform emergency braking automatically in dangerous situations and mitigate the consequence of accident. The purpose of this study is to propose a method to identify the mechanism that affects the effectiveness of AEB functions under real-life vehicle-to-TW traffic accident scenarios with Chinese county characteristics. Through the analysis and reconstruction for the sampling accident case-by-case, the whole process of the accident has been reproduced. The trajectory analysis program determines the accident triggering conditions and then generates the virtual physical parameters of the triggering conditions through the virtual sample generation method based on the initial sample. In parallel, the AEB effectiveness simulation program has been established. Plug in parameters of AEB system generated by the Latin hypercube sampling to the AEB effectiveness simulation program for getting the mechanism that affect the effectiveness of AEB functions. The AEB system parameters generated by Latin hypercube sampling are inserted into the AEB effectiveness simulation program to obtain the mechanism that affects the effectiveness of the AEB function. Under the multi-objective optimization problem of accident avoidance rate, technical cost and occupant comfort, the optimal parameters and multi-objective values of AEB are obtained by the NSGA-II algorithm. These results can adapt to Chinese actual traffic conditions to a certain extent, and provide a reliable basis for the research and development of AEB system in China.
