Abstract:This report summarizes research performed under the Federal Transit Administration/Pierce Transit Automated Collision Avoidance and Mitigation Safety Research and Development project. The project goal was to research and facilitate development of collision avoidance warning systems/automated emergency braking (CAWS/AEB) for transit buses. The project team conducted research on five parallel tracks to address some of the challenging issues facing transit agencies, bus original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), and technology developers seeking to bring collision avoidance technology to the transit bus industry. This report documents the approaches taken for each track, describes the instrumentation developed for new approaches to testing and data collection, and describes the lessons learned along the way. The project did not provide a conclusive evaluation of CAWS/AEB, but it does document lessons learned and provides evidence for its applicability and potential for return on investment. It is hoped that continued research and development funding for CAWS/AEB will be provided by sponsoring agencies and that bus OEMs and technology suppliers will continue to research and develop the technology.
