A Transit Frontal Collision Warning System
A frontal collision warning system (FCWS) for transit buses is introduced. The main purpose of the transit FCWS is to help bus drivers avoid crashes. Given the fact that buses mostly run in complex urban and suburban environments, it is a challenge for the system to keep high sensitivity to frontal collision scenarios and give drivers timely true warnings while suppressing the excessive nuisance and false warnings. The system architecture and the latest developments of the warning algorithm are introduced. The verification test of the system is discussed. The threat assessment in the warning algorithm is described. Categorization and analyzes of scenarios and the statistic result are presented.
