Integrated Vehicle-Based Safety Systems
An integrated countermeasure system could prevent over 48 percent of rear-end,
run-off-road, and lane change crashes. Through the Integrated Vehicle-Based
Safety Systems initiative, the U.S. DOT is seeking to establish a partnership
with the automotive and commercial vehicle industries
to accelerate the introduction of integrated vehicle-based safety systems
into the Nation's vehicle fleet.
- Phase II of IVBSS Program Approved: Approval to proceed with Phase II of the IVBSS Program was granted on April 8, 2008 by RITA Administrator Brubaker. Phase II activities will include extended pilot testing, constructing the fleet of passenger cars and heavy trucks for the field test, finalization of experimental design and protocol, conduct of the field test; and analysis of the results. Reports on results of the field test and the independent evaluation will be available at the conclusion of the program in June 2010.
- IVBSS 2008 Public Meeting - The U.S. DOT held a two-day public meeting on April 10-11, 2008, to provide its annual progress report on the program to over 100 attendees representing the vehicle safety research community and other interested parties. The program featured static demonstrations of equipped vehicles and updates on all aspects of the IVBSS program, including verification testing results and plans for the Phase II field operational test.

- New Report Now Available: " Integrated Vehicle-Based Safety Systems - Human Factors and Driver-Vehicle Interface (DVI) Summary Report ” [PDF], by the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute (UMTRI), Ann Arbor, MI. Sponsored by National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Washington D.C., February 2008, DOT HS 810 905. This report, covering human factors research and DVI development in the first two years of the program, describes five laboratory studies, four driving simulator studies, and two on road pilot tests conducted to assess a variety of driver-interface concepts related to the development of integrated warning systems.
