    • Abstract:
      THE ATTACHED REPORT IS FROM THE NHTSA SPONSORED PROGRAM, "IVHS COUNTERMEASURES FOR REAR-END COLLISIONS," CONTRACT #DTNH22-93-C-07326.

      THIS PROGRAM?S PRIMARY OBJECTIVE IS THE DEVELOPMENT OF PRACTICAL PERFORMANCE

      GUIDELINES OR SPECIFICATIONS FOR REAR-END COLLISION AVOIDANCE SYSTEMS. THE

      PROGRAM CONSISTS OF THREE PHASES: PHASE ONE: "LAYING THE FOUNDATION" (TASKS 1-4), PHASE TWO: "UNDERSTANDING THE STATE-OF-THE-ART" (TASKS 5 & 6), AND PHASE THREE: "TESTING AND REPORTING" (TASKS 7-9). THIS WORK FOCUSES ON LIGHT VEHICLES ONLY AND EMPHASIZES AUTONOMOUS IN-VEHICLE-BASED EQUIPMENT (AS OPPOSED TO COOPERATIVE INFRASTRUCTURE-BASED EQUIPMENT.)



      THE RESULTS AND CONCLUSION PRESENTED IN THIS INTERIM REPORT ARE PRELIMINARY IN

      NATURE. THE TASK 2 REPORT "FUNCTIONAL GOALS" PRESENTS THE FUNCTIONAL GOALS

      DEVELOPED FOR THREE BASIC TYPES OF REAR-END COLLISION AVOIDANCE AND RELATED

      SYSTEMS (DRIVER WARNING SYSTEM (DWS), INTELLIGENT CRUISE CONTROL (ICC)

      SYSTEM, AUTOMATIC CONTROL SYSTEM (ACS)). IN ADDITION, THE REPORT PRESENTS THE

      DYNAMIC SITUATIONS RELEVANT TO THE REAR-END CRASH PROBLEM. THESE DYNAMIC

      SITUATIONS ALLOW THE EVENTS LEADING TO ACCIDENTS, AND ACCIDENTS THEMSELVES, TO BE SUBDIVIDED INTO SMALLER GROUPS THAT CAN BE ADDRESSED INDIVIDUALLY. TO ESTABLISH THE FUNCTIONAL GOALS, A TAXONOMY OF COLLISION SUBSETS AND CRASH-RELATED EVENTS THAT PROVIDE A BASIS FOR IDENTIFYING OPPORTUNITIES FOR INTERVENTION IN THE SEQUENCE OF EVENTS LEADING TO A CRASH WAS DEVELOPED. THE FUNCTIONAL GOALS ESTABLISHED FOR EACH OF THE SYSTEM TYPES IS BASED ON THIS TAXONOMY. THE REPORT ALSO ESTABLISHED THE TERMS AND DEFINITIONS AS THEY RELATE TO THIS PROGRAM.
