    THE ATTACHED REPORT IS FROM THE NHTSA SPONSORED PROGRAM, "IVHS COUNTERMEASURES FOR REAR-END COLLISIONS," CONTRACT #DTNH22-93-C-07326. THE PROGRAM'S PRIMARY OBJECTIVE IS TO DEVELOP 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).
