3. ITS America 2007 Annual Meeting June 6, 2007 3 What is IVBSS FOT? UMTRI-led cooperative agreement with U.S. DOT –National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) Develop integrated crash warning systems in light vehicles and heavy trucks 4-year, $31.6M program –$25M from U.S. DOT, $6.6M from project partners

4. ITS America 2007 Annual Meeting June 6, 2007 4 IVBSS Subsystems Forward crash warning –Address rear-end crashes Lateral drift warning –Address lane/road departure crashes Lane change/merge warning –Address lane change crashes Curve Speed Warning –Address road departures in curves –Light vehicle platform only

5. ITS America 2007 Annual Meeting June 6, 2007 5 The Vehicles Two fleets of vehicles –16 cars (Honda Accord EX) –10 trucks (International 8600 Series)

7. ITS America 2007 Annual Meeting June 6, 2007 7 The Integration Challenge IVBSS evaluates integration from a variety of perspectives: –Enhanced performance of any one subsystem –Enhanced safety with multiple threats –Benefits of a fully integrated driver-vehicle interface –The role of the surrounding environment on a driver’s decision to perform certain actions

8. ITS America 2007 Annual Meeting June 6, 2007 8 Value of the IVBSS FOT Evaluate driver assistance/warning systems –Objective data on system performance –Objective data on system utilization –Objective data on accident reduction potential –Subjective data on willingness to buy and use Fundamental data on driver/traffic behavior –With and without the systems –Ability to address a multitude of questions
