摘要: This four-year Field Operational Test Project joined government and industry partners together to evaluate the performance of heavy tractor vehicles integrated Advanced Safety Systems. The vehicles were operated in normal commercial revenue-generating service throughout the 48 contiguous United States. Forward collision warning, adaptive cruise control, and disc brakes with electronically controlled brake systems comprised the Advanced Safety Systems that were studied. The Project involved 100 new tractors, 50 built to US Xpress fleet standard specifications, and 50 built with the Advanced Safety Systems. All 100 of the tractors were equipped with onboard data acquisition systems to record vehicle and system performance, and were put into service with US Xpress, a national fleet. Over the three years of Field Operational Test data collection, over 39 million miles of real world service was recorded for the 100 tractors. The objectives of the Field Operational Test were to determine the durability, reliability, operational costs, and driver acceptance of the Advanced Safety Systems, and to quantify the relative safety provided by the systems. / NOTE: Final rept. / Supplementary Notes: Sponsored by Federal Highway Administration, Washington, DC. / Availability Note: Order this product from NTIS by: phone at 1-800-553-NTIS (U.S. customers); (703)605-6000 (other countries); fax at (703)605-6900; and email at orders@ntis.gov.
