Abstract:

This report describes research examining camera-based visibility systems, sometimes referred to as camera monitor systems or CMSs, which are designed to replace or supplement required vehicle mirrors with cameras that transmit video images to interior-mounted electronic visual displays. Research was performed to help inform NHTSA's decision whether to grant industry petitions seeking the revision of FMVSS No. 111, Rear visibility, to permit CMSs to satisfy current requirements for rearview mirrors. Two experiments obtained information regarding how driver visual behavior with, ability to focus on, and extract information from a CMS-based electronic visual image differs from that afforded by outside and inside rearview mirrors.
