Collision Warning Systems (CWS)Collision Warning Systems (CWS)
• Radar based• Track other vehicles and stationary
objects• Prevent rear-end collisions• Provide light and sound warnings• Moving versus stationary objects

Perception/Reaction Times and CWSPerception/Reaction Times and CWS
• At 70 mph:– 350 feet warning = 3.4 seconds– 220 feet warning = 2.1 seconds
• Average driver reaction time is around 1.5 seconds
• Time for brake pedal application and full brake system pressurization (0.5 seconds)– At 70 mph, 2.0 seconds = 205 feet
• Ideal brakes, longest warning time– Impact speed = 48.5 mph
• Existing brakes, 220 feet warning time– Impact speed = 68.8 mph

Active Braking CWSActive Braking CWS
• Acura RL• Adaptive cruise control (ACC)• Active braking collision warning
systems controls vehicle automatically• Benefits may be huge:
– Ideal brakes, longest warning time• Impact speed = 0 mph

Vehicle Stability and CWSVehicle Stability and CWS
• Collision warning systems– Severe evasive maneuvers
• Vehicle instability– Hard braking on slippery surface– Rapid steer maneuver
• Stability control system– Roll and directional control

SummarySummary
• Collision warning systems– Potential to enhance commercial
vehicle safety– Reduced effectiveness at highway
speeds with stopped vehicles
• Active braking collision warning systems
• Electronic stability control (ESC)
