Related Areas of Interest
Intelligent Vehicle Initiative (IVI)
The IVI Program initiated research into how advanced transportation technologies can be applied to address the intersection collision problem. The IVI Program provided the foundational research into infrastructure systems, in-vehicle systems, human factors, and communications technologies that are now being combined into cooperative systems in the CICAS Program.
IntelliDriveSM
IntelliDriveSM research is focused on preventing crashes by enabling active safety applications that rely on interoperable wireless communication among vehicles and with infrastructure elements, via an open communications platform. The wireless networking capabilities at the heart of IntelliDriveSM also support numerous mobility, environmental, and convenience applications.
Integrated Vehicle Based Safety Systems (IVBSS)
The IVBSS Program is providing an approach to integrating new technology systems on vehicles – systems for run-off-the-road warning, forward collision warning, lane-change warning, and others. To be effective for the driver, these systems need to be integrated into one seamless, single interface to ensure against driver distraction from multiple warnings. Because a deployable CICAS will require similar integration with these types of systems, the IVBSS results will play an important role in the design and evolution of CICAS as it moves to market.
ITS Technologies to Reduce Pedestrian Injuries and Fatalities
The CICAS Program seeks to incorporate new technologies into the prototype system(s) that help the infrastructure or vehicle recognize the presence of pedestrians near and in intersections. The CICAS Program will draw upon the lessons learned from this exploratory initiative when designing and testing the CICAS.
