Road Difficult Situation Use-Case by Nexyad SafetyNex

St Germain en Laye, October 15th 2024

Use-Case that described a common situation leading to many accidents:
Pedestrian crossing partly masked by a bus, a pedestrian surrounds from behind the bus.

As the vehicle is approaching the pedestrian crossing, it slows down slightly (a prudence function is activated at the crossing, which can be disabled if you believe your customers prefer that, similar to other Prudence Functions in the tool). We could also incorporate contextual information to determine if the area is urban or peri-urban. The vehicle detects the parked bus, geolocates it, and recognizes that it is partly masking the view of the pedestrian crossing, prompting a reduction in speed even if no pedestrian is currently visible. When the pedestrian does appear, the vehicle can stop at a deceleration of 0.5 g, avoiding the activation of the Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) system.
Please note that we cannot calculate the potential collision with a pedestrian because potential pedestrian is masked by the bus.

The pilot system is a PID (you can utilize your existing pilot).
