• Abstract:
  This document presents the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute’s plan to perform ; analysis of data collected from the heavy truck platform field operational test of the Integrated Vehicle- ; Based Safety Systems (IVBSS) program. The purpose of the IVBSS program is to evaluate the ; effectiveness of, and driver acceptance for, state-of-the-art integrated crash warning systems for both ; passenger cars and commercial trucks. The heavy truck platform in the IVBSS FOT includes three ; integrated crash-warning subsystems (forward crash, lateral drift, and lane-change/merge crash warnings) ; installed into a fleet of ten Class 8 tractors operated by Con-way Freight. ; Each truck is instrumented to capture detailed data regarding the driving environment, driver behavior, ; warning system activity, and vehicle kinematics. Twenty commercial truck drivers from Con-way Freight ; are operating the Class 8 tractors for ten months in place of the trucks they normally drive. Data on driver ; acceptance for the integrated system are being collected through a post-drive survey and debriefings. ; The plan describes analyses that emphasize a summary of integrated crash warning system activity, ; examine how the integrated system affects driver behavior, and assess driver acceptance for the integrated ; system. The analyses are intended to be complementary to analyses being performed by the program’s ; independent evaluator, the Volpe National Transportation Systems Center.
