Advanced Crash Avoidance Technologies Program (ACAT) I - Volvo-Ford-UMTRI Project

The Volvo Cars, Ford Motor Company, and the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute (UMTRI) Advanced Crash Avoidance Technologies (ACAT) I project team is focused on unsafe lane departures. This research will investigate the development of a safety impact methodology that can estimate the safety benefits of lane departure countermeasures. The results of this research will verify if a safety impact methodology for the estimate of lane departure countermeasure safety benefits is feasible.
