CV Safety Applications
  • VTTI summarized performance requirements for the following CV safety applications:
  • Cooperative Forward Collision Warning (FCW)
  • Emergency Electronic Brake Light (EEBL)
  • Blind Spot Warning (BSW) / Lane Change Warning (LCM)
  • Control Loss Warning (CLW)
  • Wrong Way Direction Warning (WWDW)
  • Do Not Pass Warning (DNPW)
  • Cooperative Stop Sign Violation Warning (CSSVW)
  • Intersection Movement Assist (IMA)
  • Left Turn Assist (LTA)
  • Cooperative Traffic Signal Violation Warning (CTSVW)

ITS Safety Pilot Roadmap
33
Current CV V2V Research – Safety Pilot
    • Connected CV Safety Applications Development
        • U.S. DOT awarded a contract in April to team led by Battelle to build heavy vehicles with integrated V2V applications
        • 4 - Class 8 tractors ( 3 sleepers, 1 day cab) and 7 trailers


    • CV Driver Acceptance Clinics
        • Conduct tests in 2-4 locations in the U.S. to gauge driver acceptance and collect data on systems and applications
        • Select CDL-licensed drivers to participate from local trucking fleets and independents
        • Tests run in a controlled environment with in-cab experimenter
        • On-board data collection and driver surveys

34
Safety Pilot
      • Model Deployment
        • Full scale test of approximately 3000 vehicles (all types)
        • 2-3 Integrated CVs – with safety applications
          • Naturalistic, recruiting “real” truck drivers
        • 8 - Retrofit – fleet vehicles
          • Devices same functionality as integrated CVs
        • 50 – CVs with basic functionality
        • Field test runs from July 2012 – June 2013
35
Safety Pilot
      • Retrofit Safety Device (RSD) Development
      • Project begins in fall of 2011 – contract to be awarded
      • Supplemental to Connected CV Activities
      • Develop RSD kits with V2V safety applications
        • Increase the number of fully functional CVs in the Model Deployment
      • RSD kits installed in Safety Pilot participating fleet CVs
        • Articulated vehicles and straight trucks (Classes 6,7, and 8) that feature J1939 CAN
        • Provide additional CV test data
        • Establish a platform for future research
