Abstract:In 2010, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) found that heavy trucks were three times more likely than other vehicles to be struck from behind during two-vehicle fatal crashes. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) has been working to develop and refine an Enhanced Rear Signaling (ERS) system to address these types of crashes. There were three phases of ERS research performed prior to the current project (as seen in Table 1). This report focuses on refining the developed Phase III prototype system in preparation for a Field Operational Test (FOT).
