Abstract
In this study, an algorithm for Collision Damage Mitigation system (CDM) is developed and implemented on an actual passenger car. The test car consists of a hydraulic brake actuator (ESC) for deceleration, MilliMetre Wave (MMW) radar for detecting leading car/obstacle, Electronic Retractable Seatbelt and main control unit. CDM decision and control algorithm is based on relative speed between subject vehicle and leading vehicle/Obstacle and Time To Collision Parameter (TTC). The algorithm is tested and verified on the proving ground for relating with International Standard Organization (ISO) and Japan Automotive Technical Guide.
