Join the CAMP consortium for advancing automotive safety technology through the development and validation of crash imminent braking systems. This cooperative effort, initiated in 2005, aims to establish performance requirements, conduct objective tests, and estimate safety benefits for imminent crash automatic braking systems. Members include prominent automotive companies working on key project aspects through interdependent collaboration. The project timeline, expected to finish by August 2010, involves various tasks such as target crash scenario development, performance specifications determination, and final benefits evaluation. Test methods evaluated cover various vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-object crash scenarios. The consortium has made significant progress, with prototype vehicle development, ongoing evaluations, and benefits analysis underway.
