1 Trillion Vehicle- Miles Traveled Annual fatalities from MVC Fatalities/ 100 million miles 8/5/2013 New Vehicle Safety Technologies Kathleen D. Klinich Injuries from Motor Vehicle Crashes 48,000 46,000 Fatalities from motorvehicle crashes at 40,000 44,000 42,000 38,000 record lows 36,000 34,000 Even though vehicle 32,000 30,000 miles traveled generally increase Additional analysis to prioritize future 1.9 countermeasures /data/ Leading Cause of Injury Death 2010 Preventing Motor-Vehicle Injuries Human Vehicle Environment Social Pre-crash Buckling Up Alcohol use Risk-taking Texting Training Crash Postcrash Restraint use Age Size Seating position First-aid General health Braking Crash Avoidance Technologies Vehicle structures Airbags Advanced seatbelts Fire risk Collision notification Roads Lighting Rumble strips Weather Guard rails Distance to care Traffic Laws Enforcement Inspection Funding for care Haddon Matrix Pre-crash/Human: Alcohol Interlock Prevents vehicle from starting if alcohol detected Sometimes required for habitual DUI offenders Blue Ribbon Panel for the Development of Advanced Alcohol Detection Technology NHTSA, IIHS, MADD, auto industry Prototype testing of less invasive technologies underway Pre-crash/Human:Belt Interlock Current belt use rate in US is 85% What if we could get it 100%? Estimated to reduce Serious injuries by 20% Fatalities by 31% 1

2 Before the crash: vehicle Crash type by pre-crash scenarios Crash avoidance technologies reduce injuries by avoiding crashes in the first place What kind of systems are needed and provide the most benefit? Crash type by pre-crash scenarios Common Crash Avoidance Systems Frontal Collision Warning Lane Departure Warning 2

3 Electronic Stability Control Monitors steering angle and rotation of vehicle If they don t agree, ESC controls the brake on appropriate wheel to correct ESC is estimated to reduce 40% of all single-vehicle crashes and 75% of rollovers Blind Spot Detection Effectiveness of Crash Avoidance Technology Effectiveness Application Lane departure warning 25% Head-on, off-path Adaptive cruise control 10% Rear-end Frontal collision warning 50% Rear-end, head-on, object Intelligent lighting systems 18% Pedestrian/cyclist lowvisibility crashes Lane change warning 38% Drifting, lane change Lane keeping assistance 25% Off-path, head-on, sideswipe Reverse collision warning 65% Backing system Road departure warning 24% Off-path Technology Fleet penetration Year introduced % of MY 2010 vehicles % of all vehicles in % of vehicles will have it in ABS % 88% 2015 Driver Frontal Airbag % 88% 2016 Driver Side Airbag % 49% 2026 Driver Side Head Airbag % 41% 2028 ESC % 27% 2030 FCW % 1% 2050 Takes a long time for new technology to be available in the vehicle fleet Highway Data Loss Institute, Predicted Availability of Safety Features on Registered Vehicles, 28(26), 2011 Crash avoidance vs. belt use Injury reductions from 100% belt use and implementing current vehicle safety technologies in all vehicles are estimated to be similar. Connected Vehicles Vehicles talk to Each other Traffic Signals Roadways Anticipated results Fewer crashes Less traffic Improved road maintenance 3

4 Safety Pilot Large-scale testing to determine potential benefits underway at UMTRI 2800 subjects with emitting devices in vehicles 300 with receiving devices Emitting devices on local Ann Arbor roads safetypilot.umtri.umich.edu Crash: Airbag Restraint Systems Advanced frontal-impact airbags Side curtain airbags Inflatable seatbelts See the Fall 2012 issue of CPS Tech Update at cpsboard.org Talking about airbag sensors Talking about side airbags Focus on testing: making airbags safer for kids Crash: Center airbag Produced by GM Deploys to provide protection in far-side crashes Tested with rearfacing child restraints in center rear position to ensure no negative interaction SafeKids Webinar on topic available Crash: Adaptive Restraints What if restraint systems could protect all occupants as well as the best-protected occupant? Account for the age, gender, size, of occupant Reducing fatalities Fatalities reduced by ~30% for 100% belt use ~30% for lowering crash severity by 20% Post-crash: collision notification Automatic crash notification GM OnStar or automatic calling through your cell phone Shorter response times Crash information could be transmitted to trauma center to provide information relevant to treatment 4
