Development of Collision Avoidance System in Right Turn Maneuver Using Vehicle-in-the-Loop Simulation

Abstract

Collisions in Japan between vehicles during right turns account for a high number of other intersection accidents. We present collision avoidance that introduces speed control assistance combined with autonomous emergency braking when vehicles approach and a collision becomes imminent. Our proposal uses on-board sensors such as radar and cameras to handle situations without depending on X2X communication and infrastructure. We also propose a speed control algorithm. A “vehicle-in-the-loop test” involving a virtual test drive for rapid system development verifies the effectiveness of our proposals.
