This report addresses the single vehicle crash problem through application of technology to prevent and/or reduce the severity of these crashes. Task 4 focused on the development of preliminary performance specifications for run- off-road countermeasures, and those that apply specifically to steering or curve warning countermeasures. These performance specifications were generated by developing and running a computer program called RORSIM to simulate the combined efforts of the dynamic properties of the vehicle, the response of the driver, sensor measurements, environmental conditions and in-vehicle countermeasure systems.
