The goal of the Integrated Vehicle-Based Safety Systems (IVBSS) initiative is to demonstrate technologies needed to equip both light vehicles and heavy trucks with advanced driver assistance systems designed to help drivers avoid the most common types of deadly crashes: forward collision, lane change/merge, and road departure. Its purpose is to develop information on how best to communicate warnings from an integrated system covering multiple hazards to the driver. To this end, objective tests and criteria for performance of systems that simultaneously address the three crash modes have been developed. A field test of an integrated system in ten heavy trucks to determine both the safety benefits of the system and driver behavior/acceptance will soon begin. In this webinar, Chris Flanigan of the ART Technology Division will give an overview of the heavy truck portion of the IVBSS program. 90 minutes
