Infrared Reflectivity of Pedestrian Mannequin for Autonomous Emergency Braking Testing

Abstract

In order to be able to evaluate the performances of different Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) systems for pedestrian crash avoidance and mitigation, a standard surrogate pedestrian mannequin needs to be developed. One of the requirements for pedestrian mannequin is to ensure it “looks” like a real representative pedestrian to each of the sensor modalities used in AEB systems. The purpose of this paper is to generate the recommended IR reflectance specifications for the standard surrogate pedestrian mannequin based on the collected data from various sources and the experiments
