Abstract:The Integrated Vehicle-Based Safety Systems (IVBSS) program is a five-year, two-phase cooperative
research program being conducted by an industry consortium led by the University of Michigan
Transportation Research Institute (UMTRI). The goal of the program is to assess the safety benefits and
driver acceptance associated with a prototype integrated crash warning system designed to address rearend,
roadway departure, and lane change/merge crashes for light vehicles and heavy commercial trucks.
This report describes accomplishments and progress made during the third year of the program (June
2008 to May 2009) and activities planned for the following year. Accomplishments detailed in this
report include making refinements to the integrated crash warning system, conduct of additional
verification testing and extended pilot tests, the analysis of data, and the construction of the fleet of 26
research vehicles.
