摘要: |
Vehicle crash statistics in the U.S. are dominated by light vehicles at a rate in excess of 94% of all vehicles involved. This paper reviews the USDOT crash avoidance program for light vehicles being managed through the Intelligent Vehicle Initiative (IVI) within the Departments Intelligent Transportation Systems Program. The paper begins with crash statistics to define the crash problem for light vehicles in the U.S. Four major crash categories dominate the crash statistics, these being rear-end, lane change, road departure, and crossing path crashes (at junctions). The paper next discusses the IVI programmatic approach to develop crash countermeasures for light vehicles, which requires a joint cooperative effort between Government and industry. The last section of the paper describes the current state of progress in each of the areas of the technical approach. Radar-based rear-end collision warning is currently the most mature of the countermeasures and is in final development for a field operational test to begin in 2002. |
