Integrated Vehicle Based Safety Systems (IVBSS)

Integrated Vehicle Based Safety Systems (IVBSS) are designed to prevent the most common types of commercial motor vehicle (CMV) fatal crashes through the widespread deployment of advanced integrated driver assistance systems.  Several private sector stand-alone onboard safety system (OSS) technologies are available that alert a driver of lane departures, potential forward collisions and unsafe lane changes/merging.  The goal of IVBSS is to improve the effectiveness of these safety systems by integrating these technologies into a single system that prioritizes driver warning alerts, minimizes false alarms and reduces driver distraction/driver workload.
