• Abstract:
  This report describe an analysis of the application of Intelligent ; Vehicle Highway System (IVHS) technology to the reduction of rear-end crashes. The ; principal countermeasure concept examined is a headway detection (HD) system that ; would detect stopped or slower-moving vehicles in a vehicle's travel path. The ; report is organized to correspond to the major steps of the project methodology: ; Quantify baseline target crash problem size and describe target crash ; characteristics; Describe, analyze, and model target crash scenarios to permit understanding of ; principal crash causes, time and motion sequences, and potential interventions. ; Assess countermeasure technology and mechanisms of action to identify candidate ; solutions; Assess relevant human factors and other (e.g., environmental, vehicle) factors ; affecting crash scenario and potential countermeasure effectiveness. ; Model countermeasure action to predict effectiveness and identify critical ; countermeasure functional requirements; Identify specific priority technological, human factors, and other R&D issues ; to be resolved; and Case reconstructions and modelin indicate that most rear-end ; crashes are due to driver inattention, and that Bt is inattention can in theory ; be addressed successfully by the HD countermeasure concept and available radar ; technologies.
