  2. IntelliDrive is Connectivity DOT’s IntelliDrive research program is focused on developing the information and communications systems technology backbone for a dramatically safer and more efficient future surface transportation system.

  3. IntelliDrive Active Safety Applications • Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) • Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I)

  4. IntelliDrive Active Safety Applications Issue Driver Alerts and Warnings • IntelliDrive safety applications are designed to increase drivers’ situational awareness and prevent crashes through Alerts and Warnings. • Warnings Vs Alerts • The main difference for drivers is the time horizon. • Alerts have a longer time horizon, and improve safety by increasing situational awareness. • Warnings inform the driver that immediate action is necessary. • Even last-second warnings can give drivers enough time to respond—e.g., to brake or steer around to avoid a crash.

  5. DSRC: Communications Technology forIntelliDrive Active Safety Applications • Active Safety requires instantaneous (extremely low-latency) communications technology. • Dedicated Short Range Communications (DSRC) is the only currently available technology that meets requirements of active safety applications. • DSRC is similar to WiFi, tailored to the environment of moving vehicles • When DSRC is combined with GPS, the result is a low-cost communication system that provides 360 degree situational awareness of all similarly equipped vehicles and infrastructure within range.

  6. V2V – 6 Prototype Safety Applications • Emergency Brake Light Warning • Forward Collision Warning • Intersection Movement Assist • Blind Spot and Lane Change Warning • Do Not Pass Warning • Control Loss Warning

  7. Emergency Brake Light Warning

  8. Forward Collision Warning

  9. Intersection Movement Assist

  10. Additional V2V Safety Applications • Do Not Pass Warning – System issues a warning to the driver who intends to pass slower moving vehicles ahead by moving into the passing zone of the adjacent lane, which is or will be occupied by another vehicle traveling in the opposite direction • Blind Spot and Lane Change Warning – System issues various stages of warning to the driver of the host vehicle during a lane change attempt if the vehicle’s blind spot is, or will soon be, occupied by another vehicle traveling in the same direction • Control Loss Warning – System issues a warning to the driver who is about to enter a zone where another driver has recently lost control of his vehicle.

  11. V2I – 4 Prototype Safety Applications • Stop Sign and SignalViolation Warning • Stop Sign Assist • Signalized Left Turn Assist • Traffic Signal Adaptation

  16. Human-Machine Interface is Critical • IntelliDrive safety applications will be designed to decrease human error, which causes 81% of crashes. • The current IntelliDrive research program is emphasizing the importance of developing effective Human Machine Interfaces (HMIs), which are critical to ensure: • Effective crash prevention and mitigation • No unintended consequences • Increased driver workload • Risk compensation • Consumer acceptance

  17. IntelliDrive Active Safety Applications Can Prevent Most Crash Types Intersection Movement Assist Stop Sign & Signal Violation Warnings CRASHES of All Severities--2007 25 % Others Crossing Paths Lane Departure Warning Lane Keeping Curve Speed Warning Stability Control 23 % 9 % Blind Spot Detection Side Radar Off Roadway Lane Change 28 % Rear-End Forward Crash Warning Adaptive Cruise Control Brake Assist Automatic Braking

  18. IntelliDrive Safety Applications V-V • Forward Collisions • Intersection • Lane Change/ Merge V-I • Intersection • Curve speed warning Driver Information • Hazard Alert • Weather • Navigation Requires DSRC Communication Options 25% 100 89% 15% Percent of All Crashes Addressed

  19. IntelliDrive Network Not Just for Safety

  20. IntelliDrive Connectivity Will Support • Active Safety applications to prevent crashes • Information-Rich Infrastructure for • mobility • efficiency • infrastructure management, and • road weather applications • Additional Applications to support • environmental stewardship • livable communities • Traveler convenience and choice

  21. Future Vision: IntelliDrive Ultimately Will Connect All Infrastructure Users and System Managers in Real Time • Commercial Vehicle Fleet Owners and their Drivers • Transit System Managers, Drivers, and Passengers • Pedestrians • Bicyclists
