  • Abstract:
    THIS PAPER DESCRIBES THE APPLICATION OF A SEVEN-STEP CRASH PROBLEM ANALYSIS METHODOLOGY, AS DESCRIBED IN THE PRECEDING PAPER BY LEASURE (1), TO REAR-END CRASHES. THE PAPER SHOWS HOW MODELING OF REAR-END CRASH SCENARIOS AND CANDIDATE COUNTERMEASURE ACTION HAS BEEN USED TO ANALYZE VEHICLE MOTION AND DRIVER ACTIONS, DEFINE AND EXPLAIN COUNTERMEASURE ACTION, PREDICT ; EFFECTIVENESS AND BENEFITS AND, ULTIMATELY, GUIDE FUTURE RESEARCH. THIS PROCESS MIGHT BE DESCRIBED AS A "FRONT-END" ANALYSIS OF REAR-END CRASHES AND THE PROSPECTS FOR PREVENTING THEM THROUGH THE APPLICATION OF ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY. THE DISCUSSION FOCUSES ON LEAD-VEHICLE STATIONARY CRASHES, THE LARGEST SUBCLASS OF REAR-END CRASHES. THE PRINCIPAL COUNTERMEASURE CONCEPT EXAMINED IS A HEADWAY DETECTION SYSTEM THAT WOULD DETECT "THREATENING" VEHICLES IN A VEHICLE'S FORWARD TRAVEL PATH.
