Evaluating Collision Prevention Technologies and Autonomous Vehicle Functions / Bewertung von Kollisionsvermeidungssystemen und anderen autonomen Fahrfunktionen
Nicola Hylands
Transport Research Laboratory
Nicola is a Researcher at the Transport Research Laboratory and works as a collision investigator for the Road Accident In-Depth Studies (RAIDS) programme. Her background is in forensics and crime scene investigation with experience in collision reconstruction, injury correlation and PC Crash simulation. Nicola attends live collisions and conducts retrospective vehicle examinations to capture evidence of the human, vehicle and scene factors influencing the collisions. This information is used to reconstruct the collision events which are then entered into the RAIDS database and correlated with anonymous injury information to further our understanding of collision causation and the consequences to those involved.
Target
The aim of the RAIDS (Road Accident In-Depth Studies) programme in the UK is to provide detailed evidence on the causes and consequences of road collisions in order to improve road safety outcomes. The paper describes the... [ view full abstract ]
Methods and Equipment Used
RAIDS started data collection in the UK in 2013, combining on-scene accident and retrospective investigations. The methodology includes an explanation of the types of investigations, the data gathered (including from EDRs and... [ view full abstract ]
