Abstract: To realize the potential benefits of FCW systems, these systems must generate appropriate driver responses to threats in a well-timed manner. However, FCW or crash warning interfaces (CWIs) must effectively convey the appropriate warning information to the driver for this to occur. This collection seeks to study these alert characteristics and driver responses in heavy vehicles. This information collection is completely voluntary and is seeking participants that hold a valid Class A commercial driver’s license. All participants will be compensated for their time. This collection will be collecting vehicle kinematics, driver response times with regard to throttle release and brake pedal depression respective of the forward collision warning, and driver subjective input (survey style) based on alert timing, luminance, color, and sizing of the visual alert, and overall awareness and trust of the FCW warning. All data will be stored on a secure, password protected server. The collection will occur during a single period that will end once the total number of participants has been reached. Each entity will only participate once. The results will be submitted to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and upon agency review, will be published and made available to the general public.
