This interim document reports on a cooperative agreement between NHTSA and UMTRI entitled Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC) Field Operation Test (FOT). The overarching goal of the work is to characterize safety and comfort issues that are fundamental to human interactions with an automatic headway keeping system. This report (1) summarizes the status of the FOT and (2) presents preliminary results and findings deriving from the testing activities now in progess. It describes the work done to prepare and instrument a fleet of 10 passenger cars with infrared ranging sensors, headway control algorithms, and driver interface units as needed to provide an adaptive cruise control (ACC) functionality, The vehicles have been given to lay-drivers to use for two weeks as their personal cars. When completed, the FOT is expected to present findings based on results from over 100 drivers/participants.
