摘要: |
In June of 1999, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration entered into a cooperative research agreement
with General Motors to advance the state-of-the-art of rear-end collision warning technology and conduct a field
operational test of a fleet of passenger vehicles outfitted with a prototype rear-end collision warning system and
adaptive cruise control.
The goal of the research program was to demonstrate the state-of-the-art of rear-end collision warning systems and
measure system performance and effectiveness using lay driven on public roads in the United States.
The five-year program consists of a 2-year development phase during which refinement of component technologies
will continue and be integrated into a prototype test vehicle. In the 3-year period of the second program phase, a fleet
of ten vehicles will be constructed and outfitted with rear-end collision warning and adaptive cruise control systems
and given to volunteer drivers to drive over a period of several weeks. Data collected from on-board vehicle
instrumentation will be analyzed and used to estimate potential safety benefits, obtain information on the driving
experiences of the volunteer drivers and their acceptance of this next -generation safety technology. The operational
test will last approximately one year.
This document reports on the activities and results from the first year of this research program.
