it is the beginning of another school year, and the travel safety of young schoolchildren has once again become a focus of concern for families, schools and the whole society. as an authoritative third-party evaluation organization in china, china automotive evaluation has always upheld the responsibility of the "national team of automotive evaluation", placing children's road traffic in an important position, and constantly designing evaluation scenarios based on china's actual traffic conditions, upgrading and iterating test evaluation standards. in the newly upgraded china new car assessment program (c-ncap) 2024 version, a new child present detection (cpd) evaluation project has been added, and the vru automatic emergency braking test has added children's targets, which has helped to promote the continuous upgrading of china's automotive safety technology and escort children's safe travel.

children travel without worries, enjoy a safe journey

after the start of school, it has become a normal practice for parents to drive their children to and from school, and the safety of children in cars is naturally a top priority. in order to reduce accidents caused by children left in cars and continuously improve the safety of families with children, the 2024 version of c-ncap introduced a child forgotten reminder evaluation project, which is the first time this function evaluation project has been introduced in the domestic automobile safety field.

the 2024 version of c-ncap requires that the child forgotten reminder system has the ability to detect or infer that a child is trapped in the passenger compartment and provide an alarm when necessary. the detection system should have the ability to sense children aged 6 and below, and the sensing range should include at least the second row of seats. the entire system should be integrated into the vehicle, but for indirect sensing systems, the child safety seat can be used as a sensor, and the system can sense whether there is a child in the car by communicating with the child safety seat.

promote safety upgrades to make blind spots no longer "blind"

after the start of the school year, there are more vehicles on the road during the school commute. in such an environment, due to the short stature of young students and the limited vision of drivers, students face higher safety risks when crossing the road and need more attention and protection. to this end, the 2024 version of c-ncap adds children as targets in the vru automatic emergency braking test.

in the vehicle straight ahead and near-obstructed child test scenario (cpnco), the child moves at a speed of 5 km/h in a direction perpendicular to the vehicle's direction of travel. the test vehicle is tested at speeds of 20 km/h, 40 km/h, and 60 km/h. the collision position is at 25%, corresponding to point "c" in the figure below.

in this test scenario, due to the obstruction of the obstacle vehicle, the test vehicle was unable to find the child target for a period of time. in addition, the child target itself was small in size and appeared from the near end, which undoubtedly put forward higher requirements on the recognition and reaction capabilities of the test vehicle. this will guide car companies to continuously invest in research and development, improve the safety technology level of vehicles, and create a safer travel environment for children.

the safety of students' travel is of great concern to all families. every improvement in automobile safety performance will provide more safety guarantee for students' travel. safety is a never-ending task and responsibility is heavier than mount tai. china automotive testing and evaluation will continue to give full play to the technical advantages of the "national team of automobile testing" and implement the 2024 version of c-ncap in depth. through child-related safety evaluations, it will further promote the improvement of automobile safety technology and create a safer travel environment for students.
