Integrated Vehicle-Based Safety Systems (IVBSS)
Under a $32.3 million cooperative agreement with the U.S. Department of Transportation, the UMTRI and partners Visteon Corp., Eaton Corp., Honda R&D Americas Inc., International Truck and Engine, TK Holdings, Battelle, Con-way Freight, and the Michigan Department of Transportation are developing and testing a new, integrated crash warning system in a fleet of 16 passenger cars and 10 heavy-duty trucks. UMTRI is serving as the prime contractor on the program, Integrated Vehicle-Based Safety Systems (IVBSS) Field Operational Test, by coordinating the work of the partnership and conducting the field operational tests.
U.S. DOT funding is provided by the ITS Joint Program Office of the Research and Innovative Technology Administration (RITA). The program is administered by National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) provides additional oversight, and the Volpe Center serves as the independent evaluator. The program is developing integrated, advanced technologies that can help drivers avoid crashes. The integrated system warns drivers when they are about to leave the roadway, are in danger of colliding with another vehicle while attempting a lane change, or are at risk of colliding with the vehicle in front of them. The integrated system will help to address crash types that account for 67% of all motor vehicle crashes in the U.S. IVBSS is using information gathered by inertial, video, and radar sensors, plus a global positioning system module to prevent or lessen the severity of crashes. The research team has developed these systems in the first phase of the program, and is now embarking on evaluating system performance and driver acceptance when the systems are used under naturalistic conditions in the second phase.
The IVBSS program builds upon UMTRI's growing strength in naturalistic measurement of the driving process and the development of driver assistance systems. The program is highly multi-disciplinary and utilizes UMTRI's knowledge of the science of driving, which was created by deliberately bringing together engineering and social science disciplines under one roof.
