Abstract

NHTSA published the report "Pre-Crash Scenario Typology for Crash Avoidance Research", DOT HS 810 767, in April 2007. This study reviews the data presented in this DOT report and will examine the data for patterns which may be useful in prioritizing safety technology strategies from a frequency, economic cost and functional years lost perspective. Furthermore, techniques are developed and presented which offer weighing methodologies which could be useful in ranking anticipated benefits of various advanced safety technologies currently coming to market. The paper concludes with calculated rankings of the six advanced safety technologies, discusses the ranking results relative to a similar calculated ranking of ESC and offers some observations regarding ESC behavior and potential unexpected safety benefits of ESC.
