Warning Systems |
Safety Improvements |
After a transport company installed radar
sensors on trucks to warn operators of obstacles in blind spots, at-fault
accidents decreased 34% in 1 year. |
| Delay Savings |
|
| Throughput |
|
| Customer Satisfaction |
In-vehicle computer visioning cameras were
installed on 20 commercial vehicles to warn operators of drowsy driving
behavior. Results showed improved safety and more comfortable working conditions. |
| Cost Savings |
|
| Environmental |
In-vehicle computer visioning cameras were
installed on 20 commercial vehicles to warn operators of drowsy driving
behavior. Results showed the system improved performance and decreased fuel
consumption 15%. |
| Driver
Assistance Systems |
Safety Improvements |
A simulation model showed that drivers with
navigational devices made fewer wrong turns, used better roadway facilities,
and decreased their crash risk by up to 4%. |
| Delay Savings |
In Turin, Italy, cars equipped with in-vehicle
navigation systems experienced a travel time savings of more than 10% during
the CLEOPATRA project. |
| Throughput |
Simulation models show intelligent cruise
control vehicles (ICC) that use TMC detector data to optimize vehicle speeds
and match signal timing can increase link capacity 3-6%. |
| Customer Satisfaction |
Participants overwhelmingly ranked intelligent
cruise control (ICC) over manual or conventional cruise control for convenience,
comfort, and enjoyment. |
| Cost Savings |
Operating costs for a service company declined
10% after they installed GPS/AVL mobile data terminals to eliminate miscommunication
between drivers and dispatch. |
| Environmental |
Field data shows introducing an intelligent
cruise control vehicle (ICC) into traffic with manually controlled cars
can smooth traffic flow and reduce fuel consumption 0.4-3.6%. |
| Collision
Notification Systems |
Safety Improvements |
Based on a limited number of crash events
in Erie County, New York, the average notification time for vehicles with
automated collision notification (ACN) systems was approximately 1 min.,
while notification times for vehicles without ACN ranged from 3-46 min. |
