The goal of the program is to assess the safety benefits anddriver acceptance associated with a prototype integrated crash warning system designed to address rearend,roadway departure, and lane change/merge crashes for light vehicles and heavy commercial trucks.This report describes accomplishments and progress made during the third year of the program (June2008 to May 2009) and activities planned for the following year. Accomplishments detailed in thisreport include making refinements to the integrated crash warning system, conduct of additionalverification testing and extended pilot tests, the analysis of data, and the construction of the fleet of 26research vehicles
