  • Abstract:
    This white paper provides findings from surveys and interviews for the evaluation of driver acceptance as a component of Battelles independent evaluation of the Mn/DOT Intelligent Vehicle Initiative (IVI) Field Operational Test (FOT), sponsored by the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT). The overall objective of this white paper is to report on the perspective and experiences of drivers and their supervisors regarding the feasibility and benefits of advanced safety systems for specialty vehicles. During the winter months of 2001- 2002, Mn/DOT tested technologies designed to provide operators of snowplows, ambulances, and a state patrol car a means to maintain desired lane position and avoid collisions with obstacles during periods of low visibility. The technologies that constitute the Intelligent Vehicle Safety Systems (IVSS) include the side- and forward-looking radars (and associated collision warning system); head-up display; a GPS-based lane departure warning system that included a visual, audible, and haptic alarm; and magnetic lateral guidance that was a backup to the primary, GIS-based lane-keeping system that was activated only upon the deterioration or loss of the GPS signal.
