Integrated Vehicle-Based Safety System: Heavy Truck Driver Vehicle Interface (DVI) Stage 1 Jury Drive Protocol

摘要

The Integrated Vehicle-Based Safety Systems (IVBSS) program is a four-year, two phase cooperative research program conducted by an industry team led by the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute (UMTRI). The program goal is to integrate several collision warning systems into one vehicle in a way that alerts drivers to potential collision threats with an effective driver vehicle interface (DVI), while minimizing the number of excessive warnings presented to the driver. Basic program strategies for meeting this objective include systematically managing and prioritizing all information presented to the driver, minimizing the number of system false alarms, and restricting auditory alarms to higher urgency collision conditions. This report describes two separate jury drive evaluation stages that will be conducted as part of the heavy-truck IVBSS development process. Also provided are stage 1 jury drive activities and materials, system orientation and demonstration instructions, public roadway drive instructions and materials, test-track drive and debriefing materials, IVBSS warnings and alerts review, and a self-administered driver questionnaire.
