| 摘要： | Since the mid-1960s there have been significant advancements in vehicle safety. Passive safety features such as seat belts, air bags, crash zones and lighting have dramatically reduced accident rates, injury severity and the number of fatalities. For example, the fatality rate per hundred million vehicle miles traveled has fallen from 5.5 to 1.7 from the mid-1960s to 1994. In spite of these impressive improvements, each year in the United States, motor vehicle crashes still account for a staggering 40,000 deaths, more than three million injuries, and over $130 billion in financial losses. Significant further gains in reducing crash costs will prove more difficult to achieve by proceeding with the current passive safety technologies alone. Consequently, there is merit to investigate other promising technologies in an attempt to reduce the severity of crashes or even complete mitigation of all collisions. The introduction of automotive collision warning systems potentially represents the next significant leap in vehicle safety technology by attempting to actively warn drivers of an impending collision event, thereby allowing the driver adequate time to take appropriate corrective actions in order to mitigate or completely avoid the event. With this as an impetus, the Automotive Collision Avoidance System (ACAS) Program was launched. This report documents the activities undertaken by the ACAS Consortium carried out during the period January 1, 1995 through October 31, 1997. |
