In this scenario, the Pedestrian will initially be stopped at the position (35,0), which is in the collision zone. They will have a delay of 1.5 seconds before moving and ending with a final speed of 10 km/h (2.77 m/s). This will leave the pedestrian directly in the vehicle's path for 1.86 seconds.
| Location: | Delay before moving: | Speed: | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pedestrian | (35, 0) | 1.5 s | 2.77 m/s |
| Vehicle | (0, 0) | NA | 13.89 m/s |
| Pedestrian Collision: | |
|---|---|
| Duration in Zone: | 1.86 s |
| Collision Avoided? | yes |
In each scenario in case two, the PCAS will input the data from the stereo camera and determine that it needs to decelerate as the system will not exceed 16km/h (4.4m/s) if a pedestrian is within 4.5 meters away. It will then come to a stop, 1.5 meters from the pedestrian, while the pedestrian is in the collision zone. It will stay stopped until the pedestrian is no longer in the collision zone. Once the pedestrian is no longer in the path of the autonomous vehicle the PCAS shall no longer notify the Vehicle Brake by Wire System to stop the car. The car will then accelerate at a steady rate of 0.25g, accelerating at 2.45m/s, until the autonomous vehicle reaches its steady state speed of 50km/h (13.89 m/s). This shall happen within 5 seconds of the pedestrian no longer being in the path of the autonomous vehicle.
In this scenario, the Pedestrian will initially be stopped at the position (35,-2), which is in the collision zone. They will have a delay of 1.8 seconds before moving and ending with a final speed of 10 km/h (2.77m/s). This will leave the pedestrian directly in the vehicle's path for less than one second.

In this scenario, the Pedestrian will initially be stopped at the position (35,-4), outside of the collision zone. They will have a delay of 1.1 seconds before moving and ending with a final speed of 10 km/h (2.77m/s). In this scenario the pedestrian will be in the vehicle's path for less than a second.
