Who is NHTSA?
  • DOT Mission Statement
    • Serve the United States by ensuring a safe transportation system that furthers our vital national interests and enhances the quality of life of the American people
      • Safety – Promote the public health and safety by working toward the elimination of transportation-related deaths and injuries


  • NHTSA Mission Statement
    • To reduce deaths, injuries and economic losses resulting from motor vehicle crashes
    • Driver behavior
    • Vehicle Safety


3
NHTSA Congressional Authority
  • NHTSA has congressional authority to establish Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS)
    • For motor vehicles and motor vehicle equipment
    • No person may manufacture or import a vehicle or item of equipment unless it complies with applicable FMVSS
    • Manufacturers must self-certify compliance
    • Authority to establish CAFE standards
  • FMVSS have the force of law
4
Rulemaking Requirements
  • Administrative Procedures Act
    • Transparency and openness
      • Notice and opportunity for comment
      • Public availability of information
      • Response to public comments
    • Reasoned and fair decision making
5
Requirements for FMVSS
  • Must meet a safety need
  • Be practicable (technologically and economically)
  • Objectively measurable compliance
  • Performance-oriented (not design restrictive)
  • Appropriate for each vehicle type
6
Sources of Rulemaking Action

Rulemaking Process Overview
8
Vehicle Safety Communications
  • Replace Onboard Sensors
  • Dedicated Short Range Communications (DSRC)
    • 5.9 GHz
    • Low Latency
    • ~300m Range
  • Positioning
    • GPS
    • Relative Positioning
    • High Accuracy DGPS not required
  • No Digital Map Required
9
Research Plan Assumptions
  • The primary application of V2V is to enable safety applications.


  • The deployment of V2V can not be dependent on public infrastructure.


  • The system architecture will be compatible with the evolution in infrastructure technology and deployment.


  • DSRC at 5.9 GHz is the only communication option, at this time

Safety Pilot
Goals:
- Support the 2013 Regulatory V2V Decision with Field Data
- Public Awareness & Acceptance
  • Primary Objectives
  •  Demonstrate V2V real world implementation
      •  Multiple vehicle types (cars, trucks, buses, rail, etc)
      •  Obtain substantial empirical data
  •  Assess driver acceptance of vehicle based safety systems
  •  Explore opportunities for accelerating safety benefits through aftermarket devices and retrofit systems


  • Secondary Objectives
  •  Enable vehicle-infrastructure (V2I) safety applications
  •  Leverage data for non-safety applications such as mobility, environment, and weather

Track 1 – Light Vehicle Driver Clinics
and Performance Tests
    • Objectives
      • Driver acceptance data from light vehicle driver clinics at various locations
      • Explore similar opportunities for other vehicle types
      • Performance testing in multiple geographic environments using small numbers of light vehicles and nomadic devices at same locations

    • Key Tasks
    • Site Selection
    • Prepare Test Vehicles
    • Recruit Test Subjects
    • Conduct Driver Clinics
    • Conduct Performance Tests
    • World Congress Demonstration



15
Track 2 – Model Deployment
    • Objective
    • Critical Mass/Exposure testing à large number of vehicles and devices creating a “highly saturated” operating environment
    • Mixture of integrated safety systems with nomadic devices
    • Light Vehicle focus with Transit and Heavy Vehicle Option
    • Lots of vehicles, limited infrastructure
  • Key Tasks
    • Prepare Integrated Vehicles
    • Prepare Cooperative Vehicles
    • Implement Interoperability Functions
    • Conduct Verification Test
    • Conduct Full Model Deployment
    • Data Analysis and Dissemination
