This document reports on a cooperative agreement between NHTSA and UMTRI entitled Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC) Field Operational Test (FOT). The main goal of the work is to characterize safety and comfort issues that are fundamental to human interactions with an automatic, but driver-supervised, headway-keeping system. Volumes I and II of this report describe the work done to prepare and instrument a fleet of 10 passenger cars with infrared ranging sensors, headway-control algorithms, and driver interface units as needed to provide an adaptive-cruise-control (ACC) functionality, and these volumes present results and findings deriving from operational testing lasting from July 1996 to September 1997. Volume III of the report covers the operation of a serial string or dense cluster of passenger cars equipped with an ACC system (see separte documentation page in Volume III). |
