IVBSS Program Overview and Accomplishments Presented by: Jim Sayer UMTRI ITS America 2007 Annual Meeting & Exposition Palm Springs, CA June 6, 2007

ITS America 2007 Annual Meeting June 6, The Team

ITS America 2007 Annual Meeting June 6, What is IVBSS FOT? UMTRI-led cooperative agreement with U.S. DOT –National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) Develop integrated crash warning systems in light vehicles and heavy trucks 4-year, $31.6M program –$25M from U.S. DOT, $6.6M from project partners

ITS America 2007 Annual Meeting June 6, IVBSS Subsystems Forward crash warning –Address rear-end crashes Lateral drift warning –Address lane/road departure crashes Lane change/merge warning –Address lane change crashes Curve Speed Warning –Address road departures in curves –Light vehicle platform only

ITS America 2007 Annual Meeting June 6, The Vehicles Two fleets of vehicles –16 cars (Honda Accord EX) –10 trucks (International 8600 Series)

ITS America 2007 Annual Meeting June 6, Program Vehicles and Timing Engineering Development Vehicles Prototype Vehicles Pilot Vehicles Extended Pilot FOT Data Collection Nov ‘05Nov ‘06Nov ‘07April ’08Aug ’08Sept ‘09 Phase IPhase II

ITS America 2007 Annual Meeting June 6, The Integration Challenge IVBSS evaluates integration from a variety of perspectives: –Enhanced performance of any one subsystem –Enhanced safety with multiple threats –Benefits of a fully integrated driver-vehicle interface –The role of the surrounding environment on a driver’s decision to perform certain actions

ITS America 2007 Annual Meeting June 6, Value of the IVBSS FOT Evaluate driver assistance/warning systems –Objective data on system performance –Objective data on system utilization –Objective data on accident reduction potential –Subjective data on willingness to buy and use Fundamental data on driver/traffic behavior –With and without the systems –Ability to address a multitude of questions

ITS America 2007 Annual Meeting June 6, Summary of Progress Systems Engineering –Functional partitioning –System architectures developed –Interface control documentation –Functional requirements –System performance specification

ITS America 2007 Annual Meeting June 6, Summary of Progress Subsystem Development –Subsystem hardware purchases –Subsystem modeling –Concepts of operation –Build-up of development vehicles –Arbitration development

ITS America 2007 Annual Meeting June 6, Summary of Progress DVI Development –DVI prototype hardware development –Testing of tone characteristics –Significant simulator upgrades –Simulator testing Vehicle Integration –Six light vehicles being built –Mule vehicle and one tractor built

ITS America 2007 Annual Meeting June 6, Summary of Progress Verification Test Procedures –Collaboration with U.S. DOT/Volpe/NIST –Test procedures developed –Test plan generated –Simulations have been developed Phase 1 Testing –First trips to test tracks have taken place –Jury drives to take place soon

ITS America 2007 Annual Meeting June 6, Summary of Progress Data Acquisition System (DAS) –Prototype DASs built –Plans for FOT DASs under development –Data sharing network defined and being set-up
