Abstract

A collision mitigation (CM) application is being developed and implemented in the Volvo safety research truck with a complete interface to relevanttruck control systems. The application is based on a high-performance sensor system using sensor data fusion to assess the collision risk. The CM application will warn the driver of an impending collision and reduce collision severity by autonomous braking if an accident is considered to be unavoidable. The driver warning will be adaptive utilizing data from a driverstate monitoring system. The in-vehicle integration and evaluation of thedeveloped application will be carried out during 2006. For the covering abstract see ITRD E134653.
