This report describes the National Institute of Standards and Technology's (NIST) participation in Phase I of the Integrated Vehicle-Based Safety Systems (IVBSS) program, a safety research program sponsored by the U.S. Department of Transportation (U.S. DOT). The goal of this initiative is to determine potential safety benefits and user acceptance of integrated rear-end, lane-change/merge and road departure crash warning systems for light vehicles and heavy commercial trucks. NISTs primary roles in the program included assisting in the development of verification test procedures, the design, construction, and characterization of an independent measurement system, and providing field support for vehicle test activities. The verification tests provide an objective means to evaluate warning system performance in a safe and controlled test-track environment.
