GAP ASSISTANCE PROJECTS WITHIN THE CICAS PROGRAM

The Cooperative Intersection Collision Avoidance Systems (CICAS) initiative is a U.S. DOT program focused on developing new intersection safety countermeasures. The goal of the CICAS program is to develop and test intersection safety countermeasures that are enabled by wireless vehicle-to-infrastructure communications. The CICAS program is focused on crossing path crashes at intersections and has divided these types of crashes into two major categories: 1) crashes caused by "violations" of traffic signals or stop signs, and 2) crashes caused by poor driver decisions related to judging gaps in traffic. This paper focuses primarily on the two projects under this second category, namely, CICAS Stop Sign Assist (CICAS-SSA) and CICAS Signalized Left Turn Assist (CICASSLTA). For the covering abstract see ITRD E140665.
