The IVBSS program is a four-year, two-phase cooperative research program being conducted by an industry team led by the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute. The goal of the IVBSS program is to assess the safety benefits and driver acceptance associated with a prototype integrated crash warning system designed to address rear-end, road departure, and lane change/merge crashes on light vehicles and heavy commercial trucks. This report describes accomplishments and progress made during Phase I of the program (November 2005 to April 2008). Activities during Phase I focused on system specification, and design, development, and construction of prototype vehicles. 1 Executive Summary 1.1 Introduction and Background In November 2005, the U.S. Department of Transportation entered into a cooperative research agreement with an industry team led by the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute to develop and test an integrated, vehicle-based crash warning system that addresses rear-end, lane-change, and roadway departure crashes for light vehicles and heavy commercial trucks. The program being carried out under this agreement is known as the Integrated Vehicle-Based Safety Systems program. The goal of the IVBSS program is to assess the safety benefits and driver acceptance associated with prototype integrated crash warning systems. Preliminary analyses conducted by NHTSA indicate that a significant number of crashes can be reduced by the widespread deployment of integrated crash warning systems that address rear-end, lateral drift, and lane change/merge crashes. 22 24 29 Such integrated warning systems have the potential to provide comprehensive, coordinated information, from which the individual crash warning subsystems can determine the existence of a threat and thus, provide the appropriate warning to drivers. The IVBSS program is a four-year effort divided into two consecutive, non-overlapping phases. The UMTRI-led team is responsible for the design, build, and field-testing of the prototype integrated crash warning system. This report summarizes work performed during the second half of the IVBSS program's Phase … |
