Title:

Development of an Advanced Snowplow Driver Assistance System

Abstract:

This final report documents the Advanced Highway Maintenance and Construction Technology (AHMCT) Research Center's Phase Two development of the Advanced Snowplow (ASP), titled "Development of an Advanced Snowplow Driver Assistance System (ASP-II)." This work applies Intelligent Vehicle (IV) and Advanced Vehicle Control and Safety Systems (AVCSS) technologies to enhance the safety and efficiency of snow removal. The system includes lane position indication and lane departure warning, as well as a forward collision warning system. The report describes the Human-Machine Interface (HMI), the magnetic sensing system, and the radar-based Collision Warning System (CWS) in detail. The report also discusses improvements made based on findings from the Phase I research, as well as evaluation, conclusions, and future research.
