摘要：	The Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn/DOT), in cooperation with the United States Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), is conducting a major Field Operational Test (FOT) of Intelligent Vehicle Initiative technology. The vehicle technology assists drivers in low visibility conditions including blowing snow, rain, fog and darkness by providing lateral guidance and warnings to avoid collisions. The FOT is focusing on specialty vehicles and their operators ?snowplows, State Patrol squad cars and ambulances. The field operational test is scheduled to begin fourth quarter, 2001 on fifty miles of rural and exurban State Trunk Highway 7 between Hutchinson and Minnetonka, Minnesota as well as on some adjacent county roads. The project will evaluate the ability of this technology to reduce collisions, enhance operations, and improve overall public safety and mobility. The technology employed includes Differential GPS, magnetic pavement marking tape, radar detection, a windshield heads-up display and several types of warning devices. The system design and evaluation is centered on human factor considerations through extensive simulation and field-tests involving drivers. The evaluation will establish the costs and benefits of these systems as well as the potential for marketplace deployment in specialized fleets and eventually light passenger vehicles. In addition to Mn/DOT and FHWA, other project partners include the Minnesota Department of Public Safety ?Minnesota State Patrol, McLeod County, Hutchinson Ambulance桟ity of Hutchinson, 3M, University of Minnesota, Altra Technologies, and International Truck and Engine. This paper provides a project status report of completed activities including: ?System design ?Human factors testing ?Roadway infrastructure (pavement tape, DGPS, etc.) and vehicle systems design/installation ?Evaluation Plan
