Abstract: This final report will be of interest to traffic engineers, motor vehicle designers and other public officials responsible for the design of safer vehicles and improved driver communication aids. The investigation presents an evaluation of four automobile taillight signal systems, an investigation of the motorist's use of turn signals, a study of longitudinal control systems for platoon movement and a study of passing decisions on a multi-lane expressway. An infrared source sensor system has been designed and tested to provide the driver with a visual display of relative velocity and spacing between vehicles. Aerial photogrammetric methods have also been devised to aid in the study of traffic flow phenomena. It is believed that this research effort is one of the most comprehensive studies to date of modern intervehicular sensing and communication systems.
