Outline

1	Cooperative Intersection Collision Avoidance Systems Initiative May 2005, ITS America Annual Meeting Mike Schagrin ITS Joint Program Office U.S. Department of Transportation
2	Why The Concern About Intersections In 2003, approximately: 9500 FATALITIES 1,300,000 INJURIES 2,600,000 CRASHES Cost to society à $100 Billion
3	Intersection Problem Areas Being Addressed Stop sign and signal violations
4	Accident Causal Factors Impaired drivers Aggressive drivers Inexperienced / Elderly drivers Obstructed vision (limited sight lines) Other (Presence of peds, bicyclers, poor weather, etc.)
5	Range Of Possible Countermeasures
6	CICAS Program Goals To develop and demonstrate cooperative intersection collision avoidance systems To assess the value and acceptance of cooperative collision avoidance systems To develop and provide tools to support industry deployments
7	CICAS Partners Public / Private/Academia
8	Progression of CICAS Applications

10	Cooperative Violation Countermeasure Concepts The basic capability is for the vehicle to provide stop sign and traffic signal violation warnings The intersection could provide an infrastructure based countermeasure (e.g., adjust signal timing) resulting from the vehicle sending a warning notification The vehicle could exert some type of vehicular control countermeasure
11	Cooperative Violation Countermeasure Scenario

13	Cooperative Violation Countermeasure Scenario
14	Areas of R&D for Violation Countermeasures Wireless Communication (DSRC) Human Factors DVI Traffic Control Interface Threat Assessment Positioning Enhancement
15	Gap Assist Countermeasure Concept Gap assist builds upon the violation concepts and technologies and adds stop sign and left turn gap assistance Countermeasures include both in-vehicle and infrastructure-based warnings Vulnerable road users such as pedestrians and bicyclists are addressed Additional vehicle control capabilities will also be investigated
16	Gap Assist Countermeasure Scenario
17	Dynamic Mapping Example
18	Gap Assist Countermeasure Scenario
19	Areas of R&D for Gap Assist Countermeasures Wireless Comm. (DSRC) Human Factors DVI Traffic Control Interface Threat Assessment Positioning Enhancement
20	Vehicle-to-Vehicle Communications Research Research effort, specifically examining the creation of a dynamic intersection mapping capability by vehicle to vehicle communications Implementation of such a system would require significant DSRC market penetration and therefore is not envisioned as a near term deployment option Such a system could extend capability to both uninstrumented intersections and other non-intersection applications
21	CICAS Roadmap
