Abstract

As part of its Intersection Collision Avoidance (ICA) program for the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Office of Vehicle Safety Research, Veridian Engineering is developing an on-vehicle threat detection system. This system utilizes three off-the-shelf headway radars, modified for the ICA task, and integrated with a Global Positioning System (GPS), a Geographical Information System (GIS), and a Head-Up Display (HUD) into a multi-target collision avoidance system. Warning functions have been developed which provide an audible and visual warning to the driver when the vehicle and any target are predicted to occupy an intersection simultaneously. Results from in-traffic experiments with the integrated multi-radar GPS/GIS ICA system, coordinated with videos of traffic as it is observed by the radars, are presented for the first time in this paper.
