Rural Intersection Collision Avoidance

Image gallery

This page contains photographs and schematics related to the ITS Institute's work on Rural Intersection Collision Avoidance, specifically the Intersection Decision Support research projects. Continuously updated images from the vehicle-detection video system are posted on the video data page.

The research intersection as simulated in the VESTR driving simulator.

The IDS system will give drivers on minor roads information indicating when entry into the intersection is safe.
