• Abstract:
  This document presents results from the light-vehicle and heavy-truck field operational tests performed as part of the Integrated Vehicle-Based
  
  Safety Systems (IVBSS) program. The findings are the result of analyses performed by the University of Michigan Transportation Research
  
  Institute to examine the effect of a prototype integrated crash warning system on driver behavior and driver acceptance. Both platforms included
  
  three integrated crash-warning subsystems: forward crash; lateral drift; and lane-change/merge crash warnings. The light-vehicle platform also
  
  included curve-speed warning.
  
  The integrated systems were introduced into two vehicle fleets: 16 light vehicles and 10 Class 8 tractors. The light vehicles were operated by
  
  108 volunteer drivers for 6 weeks, and the heavy trucks were driven by 18 commercial-truck drivers for a 10-month period. Each vehicle was
  
  instrumented to capture detailed data on the driving environment, driver behavior, warning system activity, and vehicle kinematics. Data on
  
  driver acceptance was collected through post-drive surveys and debriefings.
  
  Key findings indicate that use of the integrated crash warning system resulted in improvements in lane-keeping, fewer lane departures, and
  
  increased turn-signal use. Both the passenger car and commercial drivers accepted the integrated crash warning system and benefited from
  
  improved awareness of vehicles around them. No negative behavioral-adaptation effects of using the integrated system were observed in either
  
  driver group.
