Variable specification.

CategoryVariableDescriptionReason for clustering

RoadDry/wetWet and dry conditions of the road surface, including dry and wetDifferent road types have an impact on the implementation of different collision avoidance strategies, while the dry and wet conditions of the road surface have an impact on the ground adhesion coefficient
TYPE_RTypes of road, including crossroads, T-intersection, and ordinary roads

EnvironmentObstructWhether the TW has a blind spot to carEnvironmental factors can have an impact on the radar and cameras of autonomous vehicles
WeatherWeather conditions, including sunny, cloudy, and severe weather
TimeThe time of the accident, including daytime, nighttime, and morning-evening

CarTYPE_CarTypes of cars, including sedan and nonsedan (SUV, MPV)Different types of cars affect where sensors are installed, and the car’s precrash driving behavior affects the active safety system’s decision-making
BEHAVIOR_CarThe driving behavior of car, including straight, left, and right

TWTYPE_TWTypes of TW, including traditional bicycles, electric TWs, and motorcyclesAs an identification target, the type and physical appearance of the TW have an impact on the identification and tracking of the active safety system
BEHAVIOR_TWThe driving behavior of TW, including straight, left, and right
RelativeThe direction of motion of TWs relative to cars, including incoming traffic from the left (Left), incoming traffic from the right (Right), traveling in the same direction (Same), and traveling in opposite directions (Opposite)
HelmetWhether the driver of a TW wears a helmet
