In June of 1999, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration entered into a cooperative research agreement with General Motors to advance the state-of-the-art rear-end collision warning technology and conduct a field operational test of a fleet of passenger vehicles outfitted with a prototype rear-end collision warning system and adaptive cruise control. The goal of the research program was to demonstrate the state-of-the-art of rear-end collision warning systems and measure system performance and effectiveness using lay drivers on public road in the United States. This document reports on the activities and results from the first year of the research program.
