A Transit Collision Avoidance Warning System (CAWS) Tested in Virginia Improved the Overall Driving Performance of Bus Operators Through System Alerts; However, Results Were Mixed Regarding Operator Satisfaction and Their Perception of Safety Benefits.
METHODOLOGY
The CAWS logged various events, which were transmitted to a central database accessible to managers. When warnings were not displayed to the operator, the CAWS was referred to as…

To Reduce Excessive Nuisance Alerts Generated by Transit Vehicle Collision Avoidance Warning Systems, Use Location Based Sensitivity Adjustments for Routes That Traverse Both Pedestrian Heavy Areas and Areas with Less Pedestrian Activity.
Remember that CAWS can be overly sensitive. Based on the survey results, 75 percent of bus operators reported that the CAWS set off many false alarms about pedestrians and bicyclists when…
