Abstract

The aim of the RAIDS (Road Accident In-Depth Studies) programme in the United Kingdom is to providedetailed evidence on the causes and consequences of road traffic collisions in order to improve road safety outcomes. This paper describes the development of best practice in terms of collecting and
analysing the most relevant data to evaluate Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), collision
avoidance technologies and autonomous vehicle functions. The RAIDS programme has developed
techniques to target collision investigations on the most relevant (newest) vehicles and to deliver the
necessary evidence to make robust assessments. This paper demonstrates how the collection of
electronic vehicle data and the use of computer based reconstructions are used to evaluate future vehicle
technologies and ultimately play an important role in the future of collision investigation.
