The goal of the Bicyclist Test Mannequin Task Force is to develop standard specifications/requirements for bicyclist test mannequins (one adult and one child) that are representative of real bicyclists to the sensors used in Bicyclist Detection systems and can be used for performance assessment of such in-vehicle systems (including warning and/or braking) in real world test scenarios/conditions. This version of the document only includes the recommended bicyclist mannequin characteristics for vision, Lidar, and/or 76 to 78 GHz radar-based Bicyclist Pre-Collision systems. Improving bicyclist safety is one of the major goals for active safety systems. As more active safety systems, especially the automatic emergency braking (AEB) systems, are introduced to the market, a standard surrogate bicyclist target is needed for automotive industries to test and evaluate AEB systems. SAE International created an Active Safety Bicyclist Test Target Task Force under the Active Safety Systems Standards Committee to study this topic and to recommend a surrogate bicyclist standard. The goal of the Bicyclist Test Target Task Force is to develop standard specifications/requirements for bicyclist target (including bicycle target and bicycle rider mannequin). This target should be representative of real bicycles and bicyclists to the sensors used in Forward Looking Bicyclist Detection systems and can be used for performance assessment of such in-vehicle systems (including warning and/or braking) in real world test scenarios/conditions. This document is the result of committee study and recommendation.
