Roadway Measurement System Evaluation PDF Download

Excerpt from The Autonav/Dot Project: Baseline Measurement System for Evaluation of Roadway Departure Warning Systems Several types of evaluations can be conducted to obtain an overall performance evaluation of a roadway departure warning system. A preliminary evaluation is usually conducted prior to a field operational test in order to determine the safety and reliability of the warning system under a controlled set of circumstances. The results of a preliminary evaluation are used to design and implement a full - scale field operational test involving a large number of drivers operating under normal everyday driving conditions. A scenario for a preliminary evaluation of a roadway departure warning system is described in this section. This scenario drove the design and implementation of a performance measurement system called the baseline measurement system (bms). The following list highlights some general attributes of a preliminary evaluation. Ability to generate a large number of roadway departure incidents. Ability to record the response of the warning system to each incident. Ability to establish a baseline, that is, the correct operation expected from the warning system, and to compare the output of the warning system against the baseline in a quantitative manner. Ability to perform evaluations on real roads not just on a closed test tracks. Ability to perform evaluations in wide variety of environmental conditions: lighting, weather, etc. Ability to perform the evaluations in a cost - effective manner.
