Applicants Eligible for this Grant: Unrestricted (i.e., open to any type of entity above), subject to any clarification in text field entitled "Additional Information on Eligibility"
Additional Information on Eligibility: The objective of these projects is to understand the safety impact of the technologies on different types of crashes. NHTSA is planning to award one or more new ACAT projects that will focus on vehicle safety technologies not addressed in the original set of projects.
Grant Description: The scope of the ACAT program is limited to emerging and foreseeable advanced technologies rather than either those already in full production or just barely in the concept phase. The Grantees from the original ACAT projects have focused on technologies that address collision mitigation, lane departure warning and keeping, and back over collision avoidance.The projects selected under this procurement must focus on technologies NOT addressed in the original ACAT projects described above.By building on past experience, the Grantee should conduct a meaningful evaluation that will link estimates of safety benefits to the results of Objective Tests of the technology and its interaction with driver behavior (i.e. role of Human Factors). The level of effort is envisioned as eighteen months to two years. At a minimum, the Grantee must agree to fund at least 50% of the total amount of the cooperative agreement.
