(AEB) technology in current model passenger vehicles, based on real-world crash experience. The
Validating Vehicle Safety through Meta-Analysis (VVSMA) group comprising a collaboration of
government, industry consumer organisations and researchers, pooled data from a number of
countries using a standard analysis format and the established MUND approach. Induced exposure
methods were adopted to control for any extraneous effects. The findings showed a 38 percent overall
reduction in rear-end crashes for vehicles fitted with AEB compared to a comparison sample of similar
vehicles. There was no statistical evidence of any difference in effect between urban (≤60km/h) and
rural (>60km/h) speed zones. Areas requiring further research were identified and widespread
fitment through the vehicle fleet is recommended.
