This report documents the results of the independent evaluation's assessment of the driver acceptance of the Cooperative Intersection Collision Avoidance System limited to Stop Sign and Traffic Signal Violations (CICAS-V) system as tested during a pilot test in 2008. The purpose of this pilot test was to use na ve participants in on-road and test-track environments to assess the readiness and maturity of the CICAS-V for a large-scale field operational test. Data were evaluated from 87 naive drivers who were placed into equipped vehicles to navigate a two-hour prescribed route through ten stop-controlled and three signal-controlled equipped intersections. To ensure the data were sufficient to understand drivers' impressions of the warning, 18 drivers followed the on-road study with a test-track study.
