Road vehicles - Test method to evaluate the performance of Acceleration Control Pedal Error (ACPE) - Part 1: Car to car from stand still ISO/CD PAS 21779

Scope

This document specifies test methods to evaluate the behavior of a vehicle equipped with acceleration control pedal error system ACPE according to ISO PAS 19486. Those forward and reverse accidents occur during a straight-line acceleration when the vehicle under test (VUT) accelerates due to driver misapplication of accelerator pedal instead of intended brake pedal. This standard is limited to ACPE Systems of light vehicles only classified in UN-ECE (TRANS/WP.29/1045) Vehicle: “Category 1-1 vehicle” and does not apply to such devices installed in vehicles of other categories, such as heavy vehicles or motorcycles. The most important part of the vehicle behavior during these collision scenarios is the capacity to avoid or mitigate the collision especially to the other vehicle in this standard.
