Abstract This report documents the results of the independent evaluation’s assessment of the driver acceptance of the Cooperative Intersection Collision Avoidance System limited to Stop Sign and Traffic Signal Violations (CICAS-V) system as tested during a pilot test in 2008. The purpose of this pilot test was to use naïve participants in on-road and test-track environments to assess the readiness and maturity of the CICAS-V for a large-scale field operational test. Data were evaluated from 87 naive drivers who were placed into equipped vehicles to navigate a two-hour prescribed route through ten stop-controlled and three signal-controlled equipped intersections. To ensure the data were sufficient to understand drivers’ impressions of the warning, 18 drivers followed the on-road study with a test-track study. Overall, subjects were neutral to slightly satisfied with the CICAS-V. A similar trend was observed for their assessment of whether the system will increase their driving safety. The data suggest that subjects need to experience the system to be able to assess it fairly. This assessment of driver acceptance was limited by the scope of the pilot test as well as the expected low frequency of intersection violations.
