• Abstract:
  This report presents the methodology and results of the independent evaluation of a prototype integrated crash warning system for ; light vehicles as part of the Integrated Vehicle-Based Safety Systems initiative of the United States Department of ; Transportation’s Intelligent Transportation System program. The system integrates rear-end crash, curve-speed warning, lane ; change crash, and lane departure warning functions. The goals of the independent evaluation are to assess the safety impact, ; gauge driver acceptance, and characterize the capability of the integrated safety system. The evaluation is based on naturalistic ; driving data collected from a field operational test using 108 subjects who drove 16 passenger vehicles equipped with a prototype ; integrated safety system and a data acquisition system. The test subjects accumulated over 213,000 miles during a 12-month ; period throughout parts of southeast Michigan. For each driver, the test period was divided into a 12 day baseline condition with ; the system disabled and a 28 day treatment condition with the system enabled to compare the effect of the system on driving ; performance. The results of the analysis suggest that driving with the integrated safety system improves driver behavior and ; increases driver safety, that drivers feel that the system provides a safety benefit, and that the system alerts had a high degree of ; accuracy. This report delineates the methodology of the different analyses and discusses their results.
