• Abstract:
  In general, the IVI program focuses on the more significant safety problem categories as ; indicated by statistical analyses of crash data. However, other factors were considered in setting ; program priorities and schedules. For some problem areas, the complexity of the countermeasure ; required an extended research and testing program. In other cases, promising crash ; countermeasures were ready to be tested in the field. Thus, in some cases, countermeasures to ; address smaller problem areas were selected for development because they were considered ; closer to deployment and could produce early benefits in terms of reduced crashes, injuries, and ; deaths. Additionally, the IVI Program includes countermeasures for platforms other than ; passenger cars. Platforms such as commercial vehicles, transit buses, and specialty vehicle have ; specific safety needs, offer unique opportunities to test and evaluate countermeasures, and are ; often early implementers of advanced technologies.
