• Abstract:
  This document is the project implementation plan for the Variable Dynamic Testbed Vehicle (VDTV) program, sponsored by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory for the Office of Crash Avoidance Research (OCAR) programs in support of Thrust One of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s (NHTSA's) five-thrust program toward the Intelligent Vehicle Highway System (IVHS). The project implementation plan lays out the process by which we will provide NHTSA the capability to methodically vary vehicle control and handling characteristics, which are needed for research associated with the Automated Highway Systems (AHS) and other IVHS programs, including crash avoidance countermeasures and human factors research, and in support of the National Advanced Driving Simulator (NADS). In developing our plan, we followed the project statement of work for work breakdown. We also include program schedules and our process for program management.
