• Abstract:
  This document presents performance guidelines for forward-looking, rear-end collision warning systems (abbreviated FCW) for improving vehicular safety by preventing or mitigating vehicular rear-end collisions through driver notification or warning. The intent of these guidelines is to aid the developer in the design and deployment of a minimum acceptable system. Systems that significantly deviate from these guidelines, especially in the nuisance and false alarm performance should be considered unacceptable and are not expected to have sufficient user acceptance for deployment in mass marketed passenger vehicles.
