The program's primary objective is to develop practical performance guidelines or specifications for rear-end collision avoidance systems. The program consists of three Phases: Phase one: 'Laying the Foundation' (Tasks 1-4), Phase two: 'Understanding the state-of-the-art' (Tasks 5 and 6), and Phase three: 'Testing and Reporting' (Tasks 7-9). This work focuses on light (primarily passenger) vehicles and emphasizes autonomous in-vehicle based equipment (as opposed to cooperative infrastructue-based equipment). Phase I of this contract, Laying the Foundation, consisted of 4 tasks: Task 1: a detailed analysis of the rear-end crash problem. Task 1, a detailed analysis of the rear-end Crash Problem, consisted of analysis, both clinical and statistical, of available mass accident data bases, some of which include the pre-crash variables, and an initial human factors study. The goal here was to identify, determine the nature of, and quantify the causes of rear-end type crashes. A report volume was written for each of these areas. The Task 1 Interim Report consists of size volumes. This Volume, Volume V, '1985 NASS Analysis,' presents the results of the analysis of the 1985 NASS crash data. Data from 1985 was selected for analysis because it provided more insight into roadway variables that are no longer available in the current CDS or GES databases. The report (all volumes) forms the foundation for the work in the later stages of the contract.
