This report characterizes the capability of the Cooperative Intersection Collision Avoidance System for Violations (CICAS-V) based on data collected from objective tests and a pilot test conducted on the Smart Road test track and public roads in Blacksburg, VA. The CICAS-V is a prototype intersection violation warning system that alerts drivers who are about to run a red light or stop sign. Twelve types of objective tests were conducted to examine CICAS-V performance under defined conditions and operating parameters. Objective test scenarios were selected to evaluate the readiness and maturity of the system to issue timely warnings in potential red light or stop sign violations and to suppress alerts in situations when there is no risk of violation. The pilot test gave nearly one hundred naive drivers the opportunity to experience the CICAS-V on public roads. They each drove one of two CICAS-V-equipped vehicles unaccompanied on a prescribed two-hour course that made a total of 52 crossings through 13 system-equipped intersections. A subset of the subjects participated in a follow-on test that was designed to induce an unexpected warning on the Smart Road test track.
