Abstract
A collision mitigation (CM) application is being developed for a Volvo safety research truck and will be implemented with a complete interface to relevant truck control systems. The application is based on a high-performance sensor system using sensor data fusion. The sensor system monitors the surrounding environment to assess the collision risk. The CM application will warn the driver of an impending collision and reduce collision severity by automatically braking the truck if an accident is considered to be unavoidable. The driver warning will be implemented using an adaptive warning strategy, utilizing data from a driver state monitoring system. The in-vehicle integration and evaluation of the developed application will be carried out during 2006.
