  IntelliDrive for Commercial Vehicles
  •      Vehicle to Vehicle (V2V)
      • Forward Collision Warning
      • Blind spot Detection
      • Emergency Brake Light
      • Lane Change Warning
      • Do Not Pass Warning
      • Other Safety Applications

Track 7 – Commercial Vehicles
  • Objective - Resolve the technical and policy issues impeding the accelerated deployment of V2V systems for commercial vehicles.
  • Key Tasks
    • Identify priority CV crash scenarios.
    • Select priority safety applications and determine performance requirements.
    • Identify CV specific interoperability issues.
    • Identify CV specific human factors / DVI issues.
    • Build prototype vehicles and develop objective test procedures
    • Vehicle testing for performance and DVI driver acceptance.
    • Estimate safety benefits for CV applications.
    • Identify CV policy issues and coordinate with overall program
    • Support NHTSA regulatory decisions

CV Interoperability Issues
  • Consider root causes and platform context to identify CV interoperability issues
    • Root cause - antenna placement limitations, multipath, density of vehicles, CAN bus performance, others?
    • Platform context - anticipated application requirement,                                  vehicle factors, usage factors, operational patterns.
  • CV Issues of concern to LV
  • Issues considered by LV, but not of priority concern, where root causes or platform context differs in significant ways
    • e.g., Trailer configurations
  • Issues arising from unique CV context
    • e.g., Effect of commercial vehicle’s limited & load-dependent maneuvering levels

Driver Vehicle Interface (DVI) Specifications
  • Develop DVI guidelines to address:
    • Message presentation characteristics
      • Auditory, visual, and haptic displays
    • Integration and prioritization of messages
      • Message conflicts
      • Arbitration of concurrent warnings
      • Nuisance / false warning mitigation
    • Driver overload and distraction
      • Minimize errors, workload, and confusion
      • Minimize eyes-off-road time
      • Specific strategies to identify and address distraction in real-time

CV Research Timeline
  • Project kickoff meetings were held June 2010.
  • Project durations are 7-8 months each.
  • Final reports submitted at the end of 2010.
  • Looking ahead to 2011:
    • CV Test Vehicle Builds
    • Safety Pilot
    • Driver Clinics
    • Model Deployment
