  3. Independent Measurement System (IMS) Measures key performance values to verify test conducted properly and to evaluate performance of warning system. ITS America 2007 Annual Meeting June 6, 2007

  4. Characterize IMS Sensors - Static Stationary Sensor Performance • Part of developing ASTM Standard for 3Di Sensors • Combined Effort of MEL, BFRL, ATP • Measure error and uncertainty of standard target for given variable factors and ranges • Results: error is ~1 %  0.1% of range • (-0.8 m ± 8 cm at 72 m) • IVBSS Spec <5% of range • (<3.6m @ 72 m) Laser scanner Target ITS America 2007 Annual Meeting June 6, 2007

  5. Characterize IMS Sensor - Dynamic Dynamic Sensor Performance • Set up course of reflective strips at measured distances from a target • Add optic sensor and enhanced GPS to vehicle to detect strips • Drive by target and record time vehicle crosses reflectors • Determine range sensor’s measured distance to target at time when vehicle crosses reflector Vehicle traveling at 30 m/s (67 mi/h) ITS America 2007 Annual Meeting June 6, 2007

  6. Example: Dynamic Error • Cylinder ranges don’t overlap when vehicle moving (30 m/s) due to error in timing synchronization between sensors • Right measurements closer than left measurements because vehicle moved between scans. Error proportional to relative velocity Barrel at 20 m Surveyed reflector Left scanner Forward view Down view from bumper Right scanner GPS Time ITS America 2007 Annual Meeting June 6, 2007

  7. IMS Performance Test • Used police training track in Sykesville, MD • Focused on performance of laser scanner and ability to meet IVBSS test procedure needs • Test used was “SV approaches slow moving lead vehicle” IBEO range data SV approaching slowing POV ITS America 2007 Annual Meeting June 6, 2007

  8. IMS Analysis Software • Extended from RDCWS to support IBEO data analysis DV video (30Hz) Range data Video and range data all synchronized to GPS time IBEO video (10Hz) ITS America 2007 Annual Meeting June 6, 2007

  9. ConcludingRemarks • Accomplishments to Date: • Evaluated IMS range sensor static and dynamic performance • Initiated upgrade of range sensor to provide longer range, higher angular resolution, wider FOV and improved synchronization • Developed common IMS sensor mounting bracket for LV and HT • Started IMS integration testing on LV and HT • Activities in 2007 • Evaluate upgraded range sensor static and dynamic performance • Complete IMS integration testing on LV and HT • Use IMS to evaluate IVBSS performance during phase 1 track and on-road test activities ITS America 2007 Annual Meeting June 6, 2007
