Functional Requirements: Vehicle Intersection Control

Description: This equipment package detects potentially hazardous situations in an intersection and takes control of the vehicle to avoid a potential collision. This equipment package includes the on-board sensors that detect potential hazards, the actuator systems that provide automated control of the vehicle, and equipment that communicates with the infrastructure to identify intersection safety issues identified by field equipment at the intersection.
Functional Requirements:
  1. The vehicle shall monitor the area surrounding the vehicle as it approaches an intersection to determine the proximity of other objects to the vehicle. Obstacles could include animals, other vehicles, pedestrians, debris in roadway etc.
  2. The vehicle shall evaluate the likelihood of a collision between two vehicles or a vehicle and a stationary object, based on the proximity of other objects to the vehicle and the current speed and direction of the vehicle.
  3. The vehicle shall monitor its approach to the intersection and determine if it is approaching the intersection with excessive speed or in an unsafe manner.
  4. The vehicle shall send its current position, velocity, acceleration, direction, and intended turning movement to the roadway field equipment.
  5. The vehicle shall receive warnings and collision avoidance data (intersection congestion, approaching vehicles, potential collision hazards, etc.) from the roadway field equipment.
  6. The vehicle shall provide warnings to the driver about the presence of potentially hazardous situations and need for immediate action.
  7. The vehicle shall send appropriate control actions to the vehicle's braking and steering actuators.
  8. The vehicle shall deploy a pre-crash safety system either to avoid the accident or to reduce the accident severity, once it has determined the probability of a collision to be high.
  9. The vehicle shall present information to the driver in audible or visual forms without impairing the driver's ability to control the vehicle in a safe manner.
