This paper describes a framework for assessing the system safety impacts of an Adaptive or Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC) system. This framework incorporates a time-to-collision model that is developed from vehicle headway, speed, and acceleration data that are typically gathered as part of field operational tests. Specifically, the framework combines car-following models with vehicle deceler...

This document describes filter design from the standpoint of cost. Filter design techniques that require the fewest possible op amps and passive components are described. Six types of filters are described—low pass, high pass, narrow bandpass, wide bandpass, notch, and band reject. Table Of

∗ Author of correspondence, Phone: (301) 405-5278, Email:[email protected] ABSTRACT Data collection is an essential part of prognostics and health monitoring, and often requires the use of sensor systems to measure environmental and operational parameters. In this paper, the considerations for sensor system selection for prognostics and health monitoring implementation are discussed and some ...
