Abstract

The Run-Off-Road Collision Avoidance Using IVHS Countermeasures program is a four year program sponsored by the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). The primary goal of the program is to develop practical performance specifications for roadway departure collision avoidance systems. This paper describes the results to date of our efforts to:

Characterize the problem of roadway departure crashes
Develop and test technology for preventing these crashes
Model countermeasure system performance
Develop preliminary performance specifications
