Line of sight is based on the forward-looking eye midpoint (Mf) as described in S14.1.5 of 571.111. NHTSA has tentatively concluded that no further specification of the warning is necessary. Finally, track test equipment limitations and safety considerations limit the ability to test at high speeds. 33. (b) Two vehicle test devices are secured in a stationary position parallel to one another with a lateral distance of 4.5 m 0.1 m between the vehicles' closest front wheels. and the agency is continuing its effort to test a larger variety of vehicles to further evaluate AEB system performance. Greater than 8,845 kg (19,500 lbs.) All current U.S. vehicle models with FCW systems appear to provide auditory and visual FCW signals, while only a few manufacturers also provide a haptic signal ( Manufacturers involved in the production of multi-stage vehicles can include, in addition to the incomplete vehicle manufacturer, one or more intermediate manufacturers, who perform manufacturing operations on the incomplete vehicle after it has left the incomplete vehicle manufacturer's hands, and a final-stage manufacturer who completes the vehicle so that it is capable of performing its intended function. Pass-through. The lead vehicle decelerating test was used to evaluate all four heavy vehicles, but multiple test adjustments had to be applied. 43214347. Consequently, NHTSA estimated the effectiveness of AEB systems using performance data from the agency's vehicle testing. 5. Bendix stated that as we look to more automated, autonomous functionality in the future, all of this is likely to be built on an ESC foundation as well. [95] AEB Malfunction Detection. Buses manufactured between August 1, 2019 and [the first September 1 that is 5 years after the date of publication of a final rule]. Automatic Emergency Braking System (AEB) Research Report, An Update of the June 2012 Research Report Titled, Forward-Looking Advanced Braking Technologies Research Report. Docket NHTSA201200570037. requires Federal agencies to analyze the environmental impacts of proposed major Federal actions significantly affecting the quality of the human environment, as well as the impacts of alternatives to the proposed action. & Morgan, J.L. At its simplest, radar is a time-of-flight sensor that measures the time between when a radio wave is transmitted and its reflection is recorded. The ambient temperature range specified in this proposal is 2 to 40 degrees Celsius; this is the same range as specified in FMVSS No. 166. L. 1044) requires agencies to prepare a written assessment of the costs, benefits, and other effects of proposed or final rules that include a Federal mandate likely to result in the expenditures by States, local or tribal governments, in the aggregate, or by the private sector, $100 million or more (adjusted annually for inflation with base year of 1995) in any one year. Detailed benefit-cost calculations of these alternatives are discussed in the PRIA. 197. Steel trench plate. The authorities assigned to the Secretary in these two acts are delegated to the FMCSA Administrator in 49 CFR 1.87(i) and (f), respectively. The proposed false activation tests establish only a baseline for system functionality. The first phase initiatives include national outreach and education. Manufacturers would also need to disclose certain servicing and system limitation requirements and make AEB-related data stored in vehicles available. Keep a foot on the brake so the brake lights let emergency vehicle drivers know you have stopped. ESC has not been commercially available for as long on class 3 through 6 vehicles as it has been for class 7 and 8 vehicles. 218. [177] Start Printed Page 43240. & Chiang, D.P. NHTSA's and other parties' past actions that improve the safety of heavy vehicles, as well as future actions taken by the agency or other parties that improve the safety of heavy vehicles, could further reduce the severity or number of crashes involving these vehicles. Approximately 60,000 (11 percent of heavy vehicle crashes annually), were rear-end crashes in which the heavy vehicle was the striking vehicle. Each vehicle was equipped with ABS, ESC, FCW, and AEB systems. It is this statutory command by Congress that preempts any non-identical State legislative and administrative law addressing the same aspect of performance. (b) Between 1 second prior to lead vehicle braking onset and lead vehicle braking onset: (1) The lead vehicle is propelled forward in a manner such that the longitudinal center plane of the vehicle does not deviate laterally more than 0.3 m from the intended travel path. Vehicles with AEB systems meeting the proposed standard would have to automatically activate the braking system when they encounter a stopped lead vehicle, a slower moving lead vehicle, or a decelerating lead vehicle. Propulsion battery charge. https://www.iso.org/standard/70133.html. NHTSA analysis shows that 87 percent of heavy vehicle rear-end crashes occur during daylight conditions. In addition, objects that do not reflect radio waves easily, such as rubber, plastic, humans, and other soft objects, are difficult for radar-based sensors to detect. Start Printed Page 43226, Table 19Undiscounted Estimated Annual Benefits of the Proposed Rule, The AEB system is estimated to cost $396 per vehicle. If one line is used, it is straight. The speed Public Law 112141, Sec. When the time to collision is equal to 5 seconds there is a nominal separation distance of 56 m between the front of the subject vehicle and the rear of the lead vehicle. A tighter speed tolerance is burdensome and unnecessary for repeatability as it may result in a higher test-rejection rate, without any greater assurance of accuracy of the test track performance. To ensure that your comments are correctly filed in the Docket, please include the Docket Number shown at the beginning of this document in your comments. While at the initiation of many warranted AEB activations, drivers had already implemented braking, every warranted AEB activation did not receive a driver reaction. Under Alternative 2, it is expected that the addition of a more stringent requirement that would require a more aggressive phase-in schedule for the AEB/ESC installation requirements for Class 36 heavy vehicles, would result in 94 to 128 equivalent lives saved in 2024 and 151 to 206 equivalent lives saved in 2025 onwards. Radio waves tend to penetrate soft materials, such as rubber and plastic, allowing these sensors to be mounted in the front ends of vehicles behind protective, and visually appealing, grilles and bumper fascia. NHTSA analyzed in PRIA Chapter 9.1, Technology Unit Costs and Added Weights, the cost associated with meeting the performance requirements in the proposed rule, including the potential weight added to the vehicle. NHTSA's Phase II test scenario matrix is summarized in Table 9. (e) If the road surface is marked with a single or double lane line, the intended travel path is parallel to and 1.8 m from the inside of the closest line. Descriptive statistics for the experimental and control groups, respectively, and inferential statistics for the differences. Net benefits are likely to be even higher given that the estimates only include benefits from crashes prevented by AEB, but do not include benefits from crashes for which AEB mitigates the severity of, but does not prevent. S3.2The following vehicles are subject only to the requirements in S5.1, S5.2, and S5.4 of this standard: (a) Vehicles with a gross vehicle weight rating of 11,793 kilograms (26,000 pounds) or less; S4 https://isearch.nhtsa.gov/files/23833.ztv.html Over 50 percent of the false AEB activations received driver responses. Human factors design guidance for driver-vehicle interfaces (Report No. H118: Once the performance standards from Safety Recommendation H117 have been developed, require the installation of stability control systems on all newly manufactured commercial vehicles with a gross vehicle weight rating greater than 10,000 pounds. In designing any potential test, NHTSA wishes to remain conscious of the potential testing burden on small businesses and the multi-stage vehicle manufacturers. NTSB/SIR18/02 PB2018100932. Meeting cars appeared about every 20 s. At 2,200 m from the start of the scenario, a car appeared 200 m ahead of the participant's car, whilst a car and a delivery van closed in from 180 and 150 m behind, respectively, and kept 25 behind the vehicle in front. https://www.regulations.gov/document/NHTSA-2013-0067-0001. system or ESC system means a system that has all of the following attributes: (1) It augments vehicle directional stability by having the means to apply and adjust the vehicle brake torques individually at each wheel position on at least one front and at least one rear axle of the vehicle to induce correcting yaw moment to limit vehicle oversteer and to limit vehicle understeer; (2) It enhances rollover stability by having the means to apply and adjust the vehicle brake torques individually at each wheel position on at least one front and at least one rear axle of the vehicle to reduce lateral acceleration of a vehicle; (3) It is computer-controlled with the computer using a closed-loop algorithm to induce correcting yaw moment and enhance rollover stability; (4) It has a means to determine the vehicle's lateral acceleration; (5) It has a means to determine the vehicle's yaw rate and to estimate its side slip or side slip derivative with respect to time; (6) It has a means to estimate vehicle mass or, if applicable, combination vehicle mass; (7) It has a means to monitor driver steering inputs; (8) It has a means to modify engine torque, as necessary, to assist the driver in maintaining control of the vehicle and/or combination vehicle; and. Multiple commenters supported allowing NCAP credit for FCW having either auditory or haptic signals. False activation refers to cases where the AEB systems automatically activates the service brakes although there is no object present in the path of the vehicle with which it would collide. (b) International Organization for Standardization (ISO), 1, ch. Travel path While the term DBS is (3) The radar cross section is assessed using radar sensor that operates at 76 to 81 GHz and has a range of at least 5 to 100 m, a range gate length smaller than 0.6m, a horizontal field of view of 10 degrees or more (3dB amplitude limit), and an elevation field of view of 5 degrees or more (3dB amplitude). Stopping on the freeway can be very dangerous. NHTSA would incorporate this document by reference solely to specify the location specification and symbol for a visual forward collision warning. 52. Malfunction notification. which summarized previous, as well as new, findings related to AEB in a variety of vehicles. of the taillamp representations are grade DOTC2 reflective sheeting as specified in 49 CFR 571.108 S8.2. Mainly due to the inexperienced drivers' lack of knowledge about how to handle when an emergency vehicle approaches, the EVA message had a significant and strong effect. This approach recognizes that system tests are limited in their ability to evaluate complex, and constantly changing software driven control systems. NHTSA and FMCSA have jointly determined not to propose retrofitting requirements AEB for existing heavy vehicles and ESC for vehicles not currently subject to FMVSS No. NHTSA identified The symbol must be red in color and steady-burning. Early compliance is permitted but optional. Fact. NHTSA's Human factors design guidance for driver-vehicle interfaces contains best practice information for implementation of haptic displays, including Generating a Detectable Signal in a Vibrotactile Seat.[141] https://www.ntsb.gov/Advocacy/mwl/Pages/mwl-21-22/mwl-hs-04.aspx Section 32703(b) required a regulation not later than two years after the date of enactment of the Act if DOT determined that such standard met the requirements of the Safety Act. 136. Approaches NHTSA could take to identify portions of the on-road fleet to which a retrofit requirement could apply. The test procedures are repeated until seven valid test trials are obtained for each lead vehicle stopped test with and without brake pedal applications, to obtain a total of 14 valid tests. What should drivers do on a multi-lane road when being approached from behind by an emergency vehicle?A. The main finding was that EVA messaging was necessary for making inexperienced drivers give way to an approaching emergency vehicle on call. NHTSA concluded that the added weight for the installation of AEB is estimated to be up to 3.10 kg (~ 7 lbs) and AEB and ESC combined is up to 6.70 kg (~ 15 lbs). Automatic Emergency Braking System (AEB) Research Report, An Update of the June 2012 Research Report Titled, Forward-Looking Advanced Braking Technologies Research Report. Docket No. The tests are conducted on a dry, uniform, solid-paved surface. Start Printed Page 43224 provide more flexibility to small businesses to meet the proposed rule, this NPRM proposes to permit small-volume manufacturers, final-stage manufacturers, and alterers an additional year to meet the requirements of the final rule. Start Printed Page 43190 Verbesserungder Sicherheit bei Sondersignale instzen (Bericht zum Forschungsprojekt 8933 der Bundesanstalt fr Straenwesen Bereich Unfallforschung). Definitions. In some cases a complete stop may be necessary . Thus, the subject vehicle during testing would not travel beneath overhead structures such as signs, bridges, or gantries, and each compliance test would be conducted without any vehicles, obstructions, or stationary objects within one lane width of either side of the subject vehicle path unless called for in the test procedure. The agency is considering that a process standards approach could be a viable and practical way of regulating the risk of false positives, as false activation of braking is a complex engineering problem with multiple factors and conditions that must be considered in the real world. Id. NHTSA seeks comment on the merits of various performance requirements related to manual deactivation switches for AEB systems. Although these average decelerations and reaction times are based on behavior of light vehicle drivers, we feel that it is sufficient basis to simulate a scenario in which a heavy vehicle operator brakes partially and insufficiently to fully avoid a rear-end collision. 67. Road users who are inattentive or have difficulty hearing the sirens approaching since they are listening to loud music on their car stereo will also be easier to notify. FMCSA believes the cost of maintaining the ESC and AEB systems over their lifetimes is minimal compared to the cost of equipping trucks with ESC and AEB systems and may be covered by regular annual maintenance. The National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA)[201] EVA message had a significant effect on how early the drivers gave way, such that both interface versions made the drivers give way at much greater distances to the ambulance than when there was no EVA message. 223. e.g., Testing when approaching a lead vehicle. doi: 10.1177/154193120104500451, Bylund, P.-O., Bjrnstig, U., and Larsson, T. J. Final Regulatory Impact Analysis, FMVSS No. Albertsson, P., and Sundstrm, A. The tests would be conducted either with or without manual brake application. The preamble and PRIA outline the safety need for this proposal, in particular to address safety problems associated with heavy vehicles, Phase IIISalaani, M.K., Elsasser, D., Boday, C., NHTSA's 2018 Heavy Vehicle Automatic Emergency Braking Test Track Research Results, SAE International. Consistent with the BIL mandate, part of FMCSA's proposal would require that motor carriers operating CMVs manufactured subject to FMVSS No. . the road with traffic. This proposed rule uses higher test speeds to better match the safety problem in the United States. It is likely that most of these eight did not look in the rear-view mirror, and that they were preoccupied with the driving task and keeping to the speed limit. as well as other GHGs, including methane and nitrous oxides, in addition to criteria pollutant emissions that negatively affect public health and welfare. However, examples can be found of manufacturers who offer ESC as an option on their class 3 through 6 vehicles. auger trucks, bucket trucks, cable reel trucks, certain car carriers, etc.) The most common available warning systems are siren and emergency vehicle lighting (see e.g., Catchpole and Mckeown, 2007), both of which have limited reach and detectability. Furthermore, NHTSA has consulted with two AEB system manufacturers for heavy vehicles and both indicated that they would equip vehicles with AEB only if they were also equipped with ESC. For access to the docket to read background documents or The test run is complete when the subject vehicle speed is less than or equal to the lead vehicle speed without making contact with the lead vehicle or when the subject vehicle makes contact with the lead vehicle. Workshop and meeting participants were permitted to take measurements and collect data with their own test equipment, which they could then use to provide specific recommendations about how the surrogate vehicle's appearance, to any sensor, could be improved to increase realism. Stockholm: Vetenskapsrdet. . DOT HS 811 251), Washington, DC: National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, p. 101. Some heavy vehicles are excluded from the proposed rule. comments received, go to It also discussed possible sampling error as well as three sources of uncertainty. Green, D. M., and Swets, J. There were three dependent variables. Automatic actuation of the vehicle brakes requires more than just systems to sense when a collision is imminent. Brake fade events are associated with speed control on roads with steep or gradual but long downgrades. NHTSA considered that certain environmental conditions should be near-ideal to prevent sensor performance degradation and maintain repeatability of vehicle testing. The specific range of dimensions in this proposal for individual surfaces of the vehicle test device are incorporated from ISO 192063:2021, Annex A, Table A.4. (c) The requirements of paragraphs (a) and (b) of this section S5 do not apply to small-volume manufacturers, final-stage manufacturers and alterers until one year after the dates specified in those paragraphs. This includes vehicles that are currently exempted from FMVSS No. An AEB system uses multiple sensor technologies and sub-systems that work together to sense when the vehicle is in a crash imminent situation and automatically applies the vehicle brakes if the driver has not done so or automatically applies more braking force to supplement the driver's applied braking. issues with timing, range parameters, and the vehicle test device. S3.1This standard applies to passenger cars, multipurpose passenger vehicles, trucks, and buses, with a GVWR greater than 4,536 kilograms (10,000 pounds) except: (a) Any vehicle equipped with an axle that has a gross axle weight rating of 13,154 kilograms (29,000 pounds) or more; (b) Any truck or bus that has a speed attainable in 3.2 kilometers (2 miles) of not more than 53 km/h (33 mph); and. Among other things, NTSB stated that NHTSA should complete standards for AEB in commercial vehicles and require this technology in all highway vehicles and all new school buses. One of these trials ended in a collision and this run exhibited a notably lower speed reduction when compared to the other trials.
