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.
