Abstract:Connected vehicle wireless data communications can enable safety applications that may reduce injuries and
fatalities. Cooperative vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) safety applications will be effective only if a high fraction of
vehicles are equipped. Deployment of V2V technology will be enhanced if it is available not only for
manufacturing in new vehicles but also for retrofit to existing vehicles. The objective of the Connected
Commercial Vehicles—Retrofit Safety Device (CCV-RSD) Kit Project was to develop complete hardware and
software that can be used in various brands and models of heavy trucks. The RSD kits provide the functionality
needed for cooperative V2V and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) safety applications to support the Model
Deployment and other USDOT connected vehicle projects. This project included testing and documentation
needed for installation, operation, enhancement, and maintenance of the units. These retrofit kits were built so
they could be installed in existing class 6, 7, or 8 trucks. The RSD kits achieved a V2V and V2I functionality
similar to that of the Connected Commercial Vehicles—Integrated Truck vehicles, where onboard equipment was
integrated with newly manufactured truck tractors.
This document describes application requirements for CCV-RSD safety applications, including Forward Collision
Warning (FCW), Intersection Movement Assist (IMA), Blind Spot Warning (BSW), Emergency Electronic Brake
Lights (EEBL), and Curve Speed Warning (CSW). Safety applications based on these requirements were
subsequently implemented in the CCV-RSD program as an adaptation of a preexisting system developed for Light
Vehicles and the CCV-Integrated Truck (CCV-IT) program.
