The goal of the IVBSS program is to accelerate the deployment of integrated crash warning systems for light vehicles and heavy commercial trucks that help prevent rear-end, lane change, and road departure crashes. The prototype integrated system provides
• Forward Crash Warning (FCW), which warns drivers in danger of striking the rear of the vehicle in front of them travelling in the same direction.
• Lane Departure Warning (LDW), which provides alerts to drivers when unintentionally drifting off the road edge or crossing a lane boundary.
• Curve Speed Warning (CSW), which alerts the driver when approaching a curve at an excessive speed.
• Lane Change/Merge (LCM) function, which alerts drivers when changing lanes or merging into traffic to avoid colliding with another vehicle in an adjacent lane
