The Variable Dynamic Testbed Vehicle (VDTV) systems objective is to support the National Highway Traffic Safety Administrations (NHTSAs) crash avoidance research. NHTSAs Office of Crash Avoidance Research (OCAR) is the sponsor of this effort. To accomplish this, the vehicle must have two possibly divergent capabilities: (1) dynamic performance which ranges, when compared to performance of production vehicle, from low to high, and (2) characteristics of a production car. To permit research to investigate bounds of dynamic performance, the VDTVs dynamic performance must exceed that of normal production vehicles. To permit investigation of human factors on crash avoidance maneuvers and technology, the VDTV must offer an environment similar to that of production vehicles.
