IVHS countermeasures for rear-end collisions - Forward-looking collision warning system performance guidelines

摘要

This document presents preliminary guidelines for a forward-looking collision warning system. The intent of a forward-looking collision warning system is to eliminate or mitigate vehicular rear-end collisions through driver notification or warning. All aspects of performance are addressed including general system requirements, driver/vehicle interface methodology, collision dynamics, standardized testing and estimation of associated benefits. This guideline is intended to be used by manufacturers and developers of vehicular-based forward-looking collision warning systems as a tool to 1) standardize system requirements; 2) standardize driver interface and control among systems developed by different manufacturers; 3) standardize testing to be used in verifying proper operation of the forward-looking collision warning systems; and 4) measure the system benefits prior to widespread deployment of such systems.
