Publisher's Synopsis
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), in conjunction with the Research and Special Programs Administration Volpe National Transportation Systems Center (Volpe Center), is conducting an analysis of off-roadway crashes in support of the Intelligent Vehicle Initiative (IVI). The IVI accelerates the development and deployment of vehicle-based and vehicle-infrastructure cooperative crash countermeasures using intelligent technologies over seven problem areas: rear-end, off-roadway, lane change, crossing paths, driver impairment, reduced visibility, and vehicle instability crashes.
