| 摘要： | Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn/DOT) along with Minnesota, Mining and Manufacturing Company (3M) and Altra Technologies, Incorporated, (ATI) has completed its first year of testing and demonstration of a magnetic tape lateral guidance and warning system and a radar collision warning system. The testing was performed using a snow plow truck in an area of Minnesota that experiences extreme weather with snow and blowing snow causing near zero visibility frequently. If these technologies prove to be operator friendly and deployed to the entire snow plow fleet, it is expected the benefits in terms of crash savings and reduced delay to travelers could offset the cost of deployment in one to two years. (1) The initial results indicate the two systems are functioning within the target specifications for their operation. The magnetic tape lateral guidance and warning system is detecting the tape and providing information to the snow plow operator about lateral position on the road surface. The collision warning system alerts the operator about obstacles on the lane ahead and on the right shoulder or adjacent right lane based on preset distance and time to impact parameters. The collision warning system also activates a set of high intensity rear strobe lights when another vehicle is approach the snow plow from the rear at preselected proximity and closure settings. The paper describes the test, the evaluation methodologies and the results of the first winter. Mn/DOT and its partners plan to extend the test into a second winter. |
