August Burgett

Abstract

This article gives an overview of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS)- related crash avoidance programs that are being adopted by the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). After discussing the seven types of collisions that are currently being addressed in the NHTSA collision avoidance program, the article looks at different projects including Automatic Collision Notification (ACN), Data Acquisition System for Crash Avoidance Research (DASCAR) System for Assessing the Vehicle Motion Environment (SAVME), the Variable Dynamic Testbed Vehicle (VDTV), and intelligent cruise control (ICC).
