This report provides a preliminary analysis of signalized intersection, straight crossing path (SI/SCP) crashes to support development of crash avoidance system (CAS) functional concepts as part of the Intelligent Vehicle Highway System (IVHS). An SI/SCP crash is defined as a crash at a signalized intersection in which two vehicles, one with and one without right-of-way, collide in straight crossing paths. A detailed analysis of 50 such crashes shows that 41% of these crashes are caused by drivers who were unaware of the signal presence and its status, and that 16% were caused by drivers who attempted to beat the amber phase.
