This report documents the results of the independent evaluation's assessment of the driver acceptance of the Cooperative Intersection Collision Avoidance System limited to Stop Sign and Traffic Signal Violations (CICAS-V) system as tested during a pilot test in 2008. The purpose of this pilot test was to use naive participants in on-road and test-track environments to assess the readiness and maturity of the CICAS-V for a large-scale field operational test. Data were evaluated from 87 naive drivers who were placed into equipped vehicles to navigate a two-hour prescribed route through ten...

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration recognizes that quieter cars such as hybrid-electric vehicles in low-speed operation using their electric motors, may introduce a safety issue for pedestrians who are blind. This study documents the overall sound levels and general spectral content for a selection of hybrid-electric and internal combustion vehicles in different operating conditions, evaluates vehicle detectability for two ambient sound levels, and considers countermeasure concepts that are categorized as vehicle-based, infrastructure-based, and systems requiring...
