Cooperative Intersection Collision Avoidance System Limited to Stop Sign and Traffic Signal Violations, Midterm Phase 1 Report, May 2006 - April 2007

摘要

This report presents the Midterm Phase I Report for the Cooperative Intersection Collision Avoidance System Limited to Stop Sign and Traffic Signal Violations (CICASV) project. The report covers the period from project inception on May 1, 2006, through April 30, 2007, and contains a summary of the tasks that were active during the first year of the project. These tasks, collectively, address four major elements of the research needed to develop an FOT-ready system by the end of Phase I. These elements are: (a) human factors research to identify a driver-vehicle interface (DVI) for the CICAS-V system and the operational parameters for the driver warning algorithm; (b) systems engineering activities to design the CICAS-V system; (c) system development and validation tasks to build and test a prototype FOT system; and (d) project management and coordination with outside organizations. The progress made during the period and the accomplishments achieved are also described in the report. The CICAS-V project is a four-year project to develop a cooperative intersection collision avoidance system to assist drivers in avoiding crashes in the intersection by warning the driver of an impending violation of a traffic signal or a stop sign. The Vehicle Safety Communications 2 Consortium (VSC2) is executing the project. Members of VSC2 are Ford Motor Company, General Motors Corporation, Honda R & D Americas, Inc., Mercedes-Benz Research and Development North America, Inc., and Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing North America, Inc.
