Outline • • • Vehicle Safety Communications Applications and Crash Types Crash Problem Overview Vehicle-to-Vehicle Communications (V 2 V) Research Plan Commercial Vehicle V 2 V Research Next Steps 2

Vehicle Safety Communications Connected vehicle environment 3

Vehicle Safety Communications Greater situational awareness • Your vehicle can “see” nearby vehicles and knows roadway conditions you can’t see Reduce or eliminate crashes thru: • Driver Advisories • Driver Warnings • Vehicle Control Vehicle safety communications have the potential to address 82% of crash scenarios for unimpaired drivers 4 Work Zone Notification Intersection Collision Avoidance

Safety Applications and Crash Types V 2 V & V 2 I Communications Other Lane Departure Warning Lane Keeping 23 % Curve Speed Warning Off Roadway 25 % Crossing Paths Lane Change 9 28 % % Rear-End Stop Sign & Signal Violation Warnings Blind Spot Detection Side Radar Forward Crash Warning Adaptive Cruise Control Brake Assist Automatic Braking 2005 GES - Includes all vehicle types 5

Crash Problem Overview • Vehicle safety communications have the potential to address a significant portion of the crash problem. • Volpe Center conducted analysis using 20052008 General Estimates System (GES) Data • Approximately 82% of crashes for all vehicles types could be addressed by vehicle safety communications 6
