  1. Vehicle Safety Communications Commercial Vehicle V2V Research Program Alrik L. SvensonResearch Engineer NHTSA, Office of Applied Vehicle Safety Research Place Talking Freight 1/19/2010

  2. Outline • Vehicle Safety Communications • Applications and Crash Types • Crash Problem Overview • Vehicle-to-Vehicle Communications (V2V) Research Plan • Commercial Vehicle V2V Research • Next Steps

  3. Vehicle Safety Communications Connected vehicle environment

  4. Intersection Collision Avoidance Work Zone Notification Vehicle Safety Communications • Greater situational awareness • Your vehicle can “see” nearby vehicles and knows roadway conditions you can’t see • Reduce or eliminate crashes thru: • Driver Advisories • Driver Warnings • Vehicle Control Vehicle safety communications have the potential to address 82% of crash scenarios for unimpaired drivers

  5. Safety Applications and Crash Types V2V & V2I Communications Stop Sign & Signal Violation Warnings 25 % Other Lane Departure Warning Lane Keeping Curve Speed Warning Crossing Paths 23 % Lane Change Blind Spot Detection Side Radar 9 % Off Roadway 28 % Forward Crash Warning Adaptive Cruise Control Brake Assist Automatic Braking Rear-End 2005 GES - Includes all vehicle types

  6. Crash Problem Overview • Vehicle safety communications have the potential to address a significant portion of the crash problem. • Volpe Center conducted analysis using 2005-2008 General Estimates System (GES) Data • Approximately 82% of crashes for all vehicles types could be addressed by vehicle safety communications

  7. Distribution of Heavy Vehicle Crashes Analysis excludes crashes with an impaired driver 2005-08 GES

  8. Addressable Heavy Vehicle Crashes 2005-08 GES

  9. Top Addressable CV Crash Scenarios 2005-08 GES

  10. Purpose Accelerate the implementation of next generation of safety improvements through the widespread deployment of V2V - equipped vehicles of all types (truck, transit, auto & fleets) Objectives NHTSA regulatory decisions 2013 Light Vehicles 2014 Heavy Vehicles Accelerate in-vehicle technology to ensure value to the first V2V vehicles V2V Safety Research Plan Goals

  12. Commercial Vehicle V2V Research Plan Objective - Resolve the technical and policy issues necessary for deployment of Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) systems on commercial vehicles. Key Tasks • Identify priority CV crash scenarios. • Select priority safety applications and determine performance requirements. • Identify CV specific interoperability issues. • Identify CV specific human factors / DVI issues. • Build prototype vehicles and develop objective test procedures • Vehicle testing for performance and DVI driver acceptance. • Estimate safety benefits for CV applications. • Identify CV policy issues and coordinate with overall program • Support NHTSA regulatory decisions
