  1. Integrated Vehicle-Based Safety Systems InitiativeJack FerenceUnited States Department of Transportation2006 ITS World Congress8-12 October 2006 Paper No. 1482

  2. Outline • Program Overview • Target Crash Problem • Integrated System Warning Functions • Major Program Activities • Program Timeline • First Year Accomplishments • Summary – Key Program Dates

  3. Integrated Vehicle-Based Safety Systems (IVBSS) Initiative Goal:Work with industry to accelerate introduction of integrated safety systems into the U.S. vehicle fleet of light vehicles and heavy trucks Addresses three Crash Types: • Rear End • Road Departure • Lane Change/Merge

  4. Target Crash Problem Studies conducted by the U.S. DOT indicate that widespread deployment of an integrated system combining rear-end, lane change and roadway departure crash countermeasures could prevent a significant number of these crashes each year.

  5. Integrated System Functions • Forward crash warning (FCW) • Provides warnings to drivers to assist them in avoiding, or mitigating, crashes with the rear end vehicles traveling in the same direction

  6. Lead vehicle cut-ins/merges Approaching low-profile vehicle Approaching slower vehicle Motorcycle Lead veh lane change reveals stopped Approaching stopped vehicle Integrated System Functions • Forward crash warning (FCW) cont’d S P S P S S P P S P

  7. Integrated System Functions • Lateral driftwarning (LDW) • Provides warnings to drivers that are drifting from their lane

  8. Integrated System Functions • Lateral driftwarning (LDW) cont’d Drifting into adjacent lane Adjacent lane mayhave same- or opposite-direction travel S Drifting into adjacent occupied lane Warning occurs earlier with “hard” threat S P

  9. Integrated System Functions • Lane changewarning (LCW) • Provides full-time side object presence indication, as well as turn signal triggered warnings of unsafe maneuvers • Based on adjacent or approaching vehicles

  10. Integrated System Functions • Lane changewarning (LCW) cont’d Merging into occupied lane Driver warned P S

  11. Integrated System Function • Curve-speedwarning (CSW) • Provides warnings to drivers that they may be driving too fast for an upcoming curve. • Only on Light Vehicle platform

  14. Major Program Activities Phase 1: • Integrated System design and development • Development of functional requirements and performance specifications • Human Factors/DVI development • Building engineering development vehicles • Including integrated warning characteristics, high quality DVI, and prototype data acquisition system • Verification Testing – Objective test procedures • Independent Evaluation Planning • 12/07: Decision point for Phase 2 Phase 2: • Field Operational Test – fleet build, pilot testing • Evaluationof Safety Benefits

  15. IVBSS Program Timeline System Design (12/05-2/07) Driver Vehicle Interface (DVI) Development (12/05-8/07) Build and validate proto- type vehicles (8/06-11/07) FOT Pilot 1/08-6/08 Conduct FOT (7/08-7/09) Independent Evaluation: Concept Definition/Planning (1/06-12/07) Independent Evaluation: Field Data Evaluation (11/08-3/10) Phase One Phase Two Functional Requirements 6/06 Performance Specifications 11/06 Objective Tests 9/07 FOT Begins 7/08 FOT Ends 7/09 Program Ends 11/09 Program Begins 11/05 FOT Go/No Go 12/07

  16. First Year Accomplishments • System Design and Development underway • Demonstration of initial FCW and LCW capability • Initial DVI Experiment completed • DVI Option Space defined • Key Program Documents produced • System Architecture • Preliminary Functional Requirements • Preliminary Performance Specifications • Draft Set of Objective Test Procedures • Draft Independent Evaluation Plan

  17. Summary – Key Program dates • July-August 2007 – Prototype vehicles ready for testing • August 2007 - Driver Vehicle Interface design complete • November 2007 – Objective testing completed • December 2007 – Phase 2Go/No-Go Decision • January-June 2008 – Fleet build and pilot testing • July 2008-June 2009 – Full-scaleFOT; data collection • January 2010 – Final Program Report publicly available • June 2010 – Independent Evaluation (Safety Benefits) Report
