The increasing number of fatalities in nations across the world because of a deficiency of protective technology in automobiles has created a chaotic scene in recent years. However, the car driver’s Perception-Reaction Time (PRT) plays an important variable during such accidents and emergencies. The Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) seems a viable technology, which today is used to prevent tires from sliding during quick brakes, whereas EBS is designed for braking assistance during tuning or emergency braking. Physical weight, rotational rigidity, diameter, and tire material strength of the vehicle are all used to simulate them. Advance Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), which include Anti-lock brakes (ABS) and Emergency Braking Systems (EBS), are the foremost viable technique for minimizing the environmental impact and uncertainties of driving road transportation. The presented systematic review aims to deliver a ground-level analysis that can be used to enhance the safety of motor vehicle driving, reduce wheel slip to achieve the best possible stopping distance in commercial and specialized vehicles, and influence future transportation. In this study, the most widely utilized technologies for ADAS have been reviewed and discussed. Various sensors used to improve braking and vehicle performance have been systematically studied in the context of low power-consuming techniques like pulse width modulation. An analysis of emergency braking procedures performed by riders with varying degrees of braking expertise was conducted using previously collected experimental data, and the results were used to conclude potential loss of control situations.
... Collision avoidance technologies for PTWs are systems designed to scan the environment and surroundings of the vehicle, issuing a warning to the rider when a risk of a collision has been computed. A similar system was recently implemented in production bikes (e.g., 2020 Ducati Multistrada) [34][35][36]. Curve warning is a prototype system that monitors the real-time state of the PTW and issues a warning to the rider when it identifies curve hazards [37,38]. Lastly, the prototype curve assistance system checks the vehicle dynamics in real time and makes some adjustments (i.e., engine torque/brake) when a loss of control is detected [17,39]. ...
... These results are aligned with studies that performed detailed crash reconstruction [20]. Typical scenarios where MAEB obtained a rating of 2 or 3 were crashes where the PTW was initially partially adjacent to the car (e.g., sideswipe crashes): at present, instruments to detect obstacles located laterally/frontally are reaching a high technology readiness level (TRL) and approaching a market release [36,42,43]. Such systems, once validated in field operational tests with motorcycles, could shift many of these crashes into category 4 of the MAEB. ...

The role of powered two-wheeler (PTW) transport from the perspective of a more sustainable mobility system is undermined by the associated high injury risk due to crashes. Motorcycle-based active safety systems promise to avoid or mitigate many of these crashes suffered by PTW riders. Despite this, most systems are still only in the prototype phase, and understanding which systems have the greatest chance of reducing crashes is an important step in prioritizing their development. Earlier studies have examined the applicability of these systems to individual crash configurations, e.g., rear-end vs. intersection crashes. However, there may be large regional differences in the distribution of PTW crash configurations, motorcycle types, and road systems, and hence in the priority for the development of systems. The study objective is to compare the applicability of five active safety systems for PTWs in Australia, Italy, and the US using real-world crash data from each region. The analysis found stark differences in the expected applicability of the systems across the three regions. ABS generally resulted in the most applicable system, with estimated applicability in 45–60% of all crashes. In contrast, in 20–30% of the crashes in each country, none of the safety systems analyzed were found to be applicable. This has important implications for manufacturers and researchers, but also for regulators, which may demand country-specific minimum performance requirements for PTW active safety countermeasures.

In [4][5][6][7][8], only forward and/or rear vehicles were detected with radar [4,5], single-beam LiDAR [6], and stereo camera [7,8]; the rear vehicle detection at a blind spot assisted in safe lane changes for motorcycles, and forward vehicle detection helped avoid rear-end collisions. In [9], opposing traffic with vehicles that travel straight or turn left at a traffic intersection was detected and tracked with a motorcycle-mounted 2D LiDAR with a narrow field of view (FOV) to avoid collisions between the motorcycle and left-turning vehicles. ...

This paper presents a method for moving-object detection and tracking (DATMO) in global navigation satellite systems (GNSS)-denied environments using a light detection and ranging (LiDAR) mounted on a motorcycle. Distortion in the scanning LiDAR data is corrected by estimating the pose (3D positions and attitude angles) of the motorcycle in a period shorter than the LiDAR scan period using normal distributions transform-based simultaneous localization and mapping (NDT-based SLAM) and the information from an inertial measurement unit (IMU) via the extended Kalman filter (EKF). The scan data of interest are extracted by subtracting the local environment map generated by NDT-based SLAM from the LiDAR scan data. Moving objects are detected from the scan data of interest using an occupancy grid method and are tracked with a Bayesian filter. Experimental results obtained from public road and university campus environments demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Conference Paper
Research question / Starting point for investigation: The application of Autonomous Emergency Braking on Motorcycles (MAEB) relies on the solution of a number of open research questions. The collision represents a dangerous and safety critical event to be avoided with high priority. However, focusing on the triggering methods, the recommendation from literature is to deploy automated braking only when the collision becomes inevitable, the priority in this initial phase of development being the avoidance of false positive activation. The identification of Inevitable Collision States (ICS) adopting existing car technologies is particularly challenging though, due to the tilting and nimble nature of powered two wheelers. Due to injury and even fatality risks in case of wrong activation when no collision takes place and in case of missing activation when collision takes place, according to transportation and standardization community MAEB has to be considered a "safety of life" application. Safety requirements therefore imply the use of accurate but above all reliable positioning system-a characteristics called "integrity". Satellite navigation systems are an interesting mean to provide accurate, reliable and safe positioning service to transportation systems. Satellite navigation faults need to be accurately monitored and mitigated since they can cause both wrong activation in case of no collision and missed activation in case of collision. A safety analysis identify the risk to be associated to each safety critical events in terms of maximum probability of occurrence. Given these conditions, the MAEB, the satellite navigation receiver and each part of the system need to be designed to satisfy the associated risk. In this paper we analysed the possible application of satellite technologies as resource for the identification of accurate and safe relative position of vehicles in emergency situations to support the MAEB system. Methods: We combined the knowledge on MAEB with recent updates on global positioning and performed a review of state of the art and future methodologies for reliable and safe geo-localization in transportation. The problem of safety was addressed considering that the positioning is obtained with a certain accuracy and a given uncertainty: the user is located within a given region and with a given probability. There is then a risk for the user to be outside the high-likelihood region. This risk needs to be properly quantified, controlled and mitigated in a safety application such that of MAEB. Results: The outcome of the review was a set of technologies and methods suitable for MAEB application, including localisation based on satellite navigation systems augmented with high accuracy and integrity services. Last frontier of GNSS pushing the boundaries of this technology is the use and integration with 5G communications to exploit the mutual positioning, in which each entity assesses its position relative to the others. Impacts / Effects / Consequences: Our results showed that a proper combination of current technologies may be used to build a cooperative transportation system suitable for MAEB applications.

The calibration problem of binocular stereo vision rig is critical for its practical application. However, most existing calibration methods are based on manual off-line algorithms for specific reference targets or patterns. In this paper, we propose a novel simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM)-based self-calibration method designed to achieve real-time, automatic and accurate calibration of the binocular stereo vision (BSV) rig’s extrinsic parameters in a short period without auxiliary equipment and special calibration markers, assuming the intrinsic parameters of the left and right cameras are known in advance. The main contribution of this paper is to use the SLAM algorithm as our main tool for the calibration method. The method mainly consists of two parts: SLAM-based construction of 3D scene point map and extrinsic parameter calibration. In the first part, the SLAM mainly constructs a 3D feature point map of the natural environment, which is used as a calibration area map. To improve the efficiency of calibration, a lightweight, real-time visual SLAM is built. In the second part, extrinsic parameters are calibrated through the 3D scene point map created by the SLAM. Ultimately, field experiments are performed to evaluate the feasibility, repeatability, and efficiency of our self-calibration method. The experimental data shows that the average absolute error of the Euler angles and translation vectors obtained by our method relative to the reference values obtained by Zhang’s calibration method does not exceed 0.5˚ and 2 mm, respectively. The distribution range of the most widely spread parameter in Euler angles is less than 0.2˚ while that in translation vectors does not exceed 2.15 mm. Under the general texture scene and the normal driving speed of the mobile robot, the calibration time can be generally maintained within 10 s. The above results prove that our proposed method is reliable and has practical value.
