Cost-Benefit Analysis of Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) System for Pedestrian: A Review

Abstract

Many possible actions can be taken to improve road safety, thus reducing the number of fatalities and injuries. These include improving the enforcement of existing rules, improving infrastructure, improving driver behavior, and introducing safety technologies in vehicles. Annually in Malaysia, around 500 pedestrians are killed in road traffic crashes. Around 40% of these are hit by the front of a car. Third largest contributor group in terms of fatality. Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) systems fitted to cars for pedestrians have been predicted to offer substantial benefits. The rapid development of pedestrian safety is in progress worldwide. With forward‐looking sensor systems entering the vehicle fleet, the possibility to detect pedestrians in advance opens new possibilities to injury mitigation. Cost-Benefit Analysis (CBA) is to be done on the implementation of the AEB Pedestrian system in ASEAN countries. An estimation of potential benefit for ASEAN is to be done and to do so, a suitable methodology is required. Limitations to the method will be reduced by performing adequate sensitivity analysis on major data such as cost.
