Abstract
This study develops a methodology on how to assess the traffic safety benefit of advanced vehicular technology for Protecting pedestrian in pedestrian-vehicle collision. Safety benefit is defined here as the reduction of Pedestrian fatality by employing advanced vehicular technology. As an application of the proposed methodology the safety benefit of active hood lift system (AHLS) is assessed. Both actual accident data analysis and simulation experiment are conducted to establish statistical models that are used for estimating the reduction of pedestrian fatality It is believed that the developed methodology and outcomes would be greatly useful in developing various advanced vehicular technologies and establishing more effective traffic safety policies.
