Cooperative Intersection Collision Avoidance Systems

In 2003, more than 9,000 Americans died and roughly 1.5 million Americans were injured in intersection related crashes. Intersection collision avoidance systems can help save lives by preventing these crashes. Through the Cooperative Intersection Collision Avoidance Systems initiative, the USDOT is working in partnership with the automotive manufacturers and State and local departments of transportation to pursue an optimized combination of autonomous-vehicle, autonomous-infrastructure and cooperative communication systems that potentially address the full set of intersection crash problems.
