IVBSS

IVBSS (Integrated Vehicle-Based Safety Systems program) is a study led by University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute to test integrated crash avoidance system from 2007–2011. 16 passenger cars and 10 trucks participated in the study. The system warned against front crash risks, lateral crash risks, risks involved while moving between lanes and curve risks while turning. Driver behavior was recorded with and without the system.{{cite web |url=http://wiki.fot-net.eu/index.php?title=IVBSS |title=IVBSS |publisher=FOT-net |date=April 19, 2013}}{{dead link|date=November 2024}}

American power management company Eaton Corporation provided radar-based technology and worked on its integration with the system.{{cite web |url=https://www.fleetowner.com/refrigerated-transporter/article/21218008/eaton-receives-ivbss-development-contract |title=Eaton receives IVBSS development contract |date=July 1, 2006 |work=Refrigerated Transporter |access-date=2024-11-04}}

History

From November 2005 — April 2008, the first phase of the study was conducted, developing systems specification, design, and construction of prototype vehicles.{{cite web |url=https://www.bodyshopbusiness.com/dot-plan-aims-to-eliminate-1-8-million-crashes-per-year/ |title=DOT Plan Aims to Eliminate 1.8 Million Crashes Per Year |work=BodyBhop Business |date=June 23, 2008 |access-date=2024-11-04}} In April 2008, the program was approved for field tests,{{cite web |url=http://www.traffictechnologytoday.com/news.php?NewsID=4783|archive-url=https://archive.today/20140302023847/http://www.traffictechnologytoday.com/news.php?NewsID=4783|url-status=dead|archive-date=March 2, 2014|date=11 April 2008 |title=IVBSS program enters second phase |work=Traffic Technology Today}} which took place during February to December 2009.{{Cite web |url=https://www.its.dot.gov/research_archives/ivbss/index.htm |publisher=United States Department of Transportation |date=December 4, 2013 |title=Integrated Vehicle-Based Safety Systems (IVBSS) |access-date=2024-11-04}} Con-way Freight sponsored and participated in the heavy trucks part of the field tests.{{cite web |url=https://www.mhlnews.com/transportation-distribution/article/22035004/con-way-freight-invests-100-million-in-newer-safer-trucks |title=Con-way Freight Invests $100 Million in Newer, Safer Trucks |date=July 6, 2010 |work=Material Handling & Logistics |access-date=2024-11-04}}

Test results indicated that drivers were ready to start using the system, with 72% indicating that they would like such systems in their personal vehicles, and found its blind spot component particularly relevant.{{cite web |url=http://www.umtri.umich.edu/our-results/publications/integrated-vehicle-based-safety-systems-light-vehicle-field-operational |title=Integrated vehicle-based safety systems light-vehicle field operational test methodology and results report |publisher=University of Michigan |year=2010 |access-date=2014-03-02 |archive-date=2014-03-05 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140305071646/http://www.umtri.umich.edu/our-results/publications/integrated-vehicle-based-safety-systems-light-vehicle-field-operational |url-status=dead}}
