• Abstract:
  This report (a) summarizes the three test scenarios intended to emulate situations commonly encountered during real-world driving where a traffic jam assist (TJA) system may be expected to operate; (b) discusses the results from testing one light vehicle equipped with TJA on the test track; and (c) provides general assessments of revisions made to NHTSA’s April 2018 draft research TJA test procedure. The primary goal of the work described in this report was to assess the performability of the test protocols and use of evaluation criteria described in this update to accurately and practically facilitate TJA performance assessment. The test protocols discussed in this report were generally found to be well-defined and performable; however, some elements of the April 2018 TJA draft research test procedure were found to require further refinement. This includes some adjustments to test specifications and to the configuration settings used by the robotic controllers. These issues are believed to be reconcilable, and adjustments have been incorporated into the October 2019 version of the agency’s TJA draft research test procedure.
