The fatality rate of traffic accidents among American cyclists and pedestrians continues to climb. In the rapidly growing auto markets such as China and India, the protection of vulnerable road users is of utmost importance.
ZF Friedrichshafen AG (ZF Friedrichshafen AG) for the above situation is promoting the development of "observation, reflection and action" systems to help prevent accidents, curbing mortality involving pedestrians, cyclists and other vulnerable road users annual growth . The cyclist protection AEB test standard will be included in the NCAP five-star evaluation system in 2018.

For example, according to NHTSA statistics, in the first 9 months of 2015, pedestrian accident mortality (10%) and cyclist accident mortality rate (13%) showed double-digit growth over the same period of last year. . In order to reduce the incidence of these two types of accidents and respond to nearly 8% of the total road traffic deaths during the same period, the US Department of Transportation has intensified the introduction of a new policy to promote the development of automated safety technologies that can reduce collisions.
ZF has a significant advantage in the driver assistance sector and has a range of technologies that can react to the risk of accidents involving pedestrians and cyclists through sensing and data analysis, and is particularly known for its automated braking and steering systems.
Peter Lake, a member of ZF's board of directors and head of group marketing, said: "Statistical data from developed markets show that protecting road users outside the vehicle is very important, especially for developing countries like China and India. Thanks to passenger vehicles. With the rapid increase in the number of trucks and the dense population of urban centres, people who walk, ride bicycles or use other means of transportation are more vulnerable to road injuries. In these countries, at least 50% of traffic accident victims are vulnerable road users. ."
On the safety day, in Leju Town, USA, and Trapp, France, ZF demonstrated its AEB technical capabilities by simulating the corresponding European NCAP-standard cycling intersection test device. The company’s pedestrian protection automatic emergency braking has been applied and mass produced on the light vehicle platform. Now it is dedicated to the development of a technology combination that meets the new testing requirements. With product upgrades, for example, with a wider-angle camera, the speed of movement is monitored over pedestrians in a timely manner. The cyclist thus helps the system to react more quickly.
Lake concluded: “ZF has a superior safety and driving assistance product portfolio. With its expertise in safety electronics and advanced chassis systems, we have created intelligent mechanical systems that will help improve driving simultaneously. Safety for people and vulnerable road users. One of ZF's goals is to increase the safety of all vehicle categories, markets and transportation systems that we are involved in."
