TASK 3 FOCUSED ON TESTING OF EXISTING TECHNOLOGY TO MEET THE FUNCTIONAL GOALS FOR RUN-OFF-ROAD COUNTERMEASURES IDENTIFIED IN TASK 2. THESE TESTS INCLUDED ALL ASPECTS OF COUNTERMEASURE PERFORMANCE, INCLUDING SENSING FUNCTIONS, ALGORITHM OR DECISION MAKING FUNCTIONS AND DRIVER INTERFACE FUNCTIONS. TESTS OF EXISTING TECHNOLOGY WERE PERFORMED USING A RANGE OF TECHNIQUES FOR FACILITIES, INCLUDING LABORATORY EXPERIMENTS, IN-VEHICLE TESTS AND DRIVING SIMULATOR TESTS
