N2  - Starting around 1980 with the introduction of ABS, followed in 1995 with the presentation of ESP/ESC, and recently with the development of radar and camera based driver assistance systems, the automotive industry has introduced a great number of electronic systems with the specific goal of enhancing the active safety of vehicles. The paper discusses evaluation methods for the effectiveness of modern active safety systems with respect to: analyses of accident statistics; in-depth studies on real world accidents; case by case evaluations of real world accidents and/or field studies; and performance tests and measurements on test tracks. The paper gives an overview of the latest methods with their benefits and limitations as seen by an [original equipment manufacturer] OEM.
