In-vehicle computer visioning technology designed to detect and warn truck drivers of lane departure and driver drowsiness reduced fuel consumption by 15 percent, increased safety, and provided drivers with more comfortable working conditions.(20 July 1999)
An evaluation of electronic stability control (ESC) and crash data from the Institute for Traffic Accident Research and Data Analysis indicated that the crash rate for single-car crashes and head-on crashes decreased by about 36 percent where ESC was expected to be effective.(18 February 2005)
In-vehicle rollover advisory control warning messages are expected to prevent 20 percent of rollover crashes caused by excessive speed in curves, based on driving data collected during a Freightliner FOT.(September 2003)

An NHTSA modeling study indicated that forward collision warning systems would be 51 percent effective, lane change/merge crash avoidance systems 37 percent effective, and the road-departure countermeasure systems 24 percent effective.(1997)
Evaluation data show that forward collision warning systems (CWS) alone, and CWS bundled with adaptive cruise control (ACC) and advanced braking systems (AdvBS) can improve safety for commercial vehicles.(21-25 January 2007
)
The initial costs for collision warning systems (CWS) can be high making it difficult for fleets that experience few crashes to deploy cost-effective solutions.(1/5/2007)
Trucks equipped with collision warning systems, adaptive cruise control, and advanced braking systems have the potential to reduce truck-initiated rear-end crashes by up to 28 percent.(1/5/2007)
Approximately 80 percent of the truck drivers surveyed indicated that collision warning systems made them more vigilant, helped them maintain a safer following distance, and increased their reaction time and awareness.(1/5/2007)
An integrated system of forward collision warning and adaptive cruise control functions was projected to prevent about 10 percent of all rear-end crashes, and 10 to 20 percent of severe near-crashes.(April 2006)

In the central area of Chicago, a 2004 feasibility study indicated that collision warning systems on buses would not be cost-effective in the near term.(8/19/2004)
In Germany, a simulation study found that with 50 percent of vehicles equipped, the braking control features of a collision avoidance system would contribute to a 45 to 60 percent decrease in collisions when the leading vehicle brakes.( 8-12 November 1999)
A NHTSA modeling study indicated that forward collision warning systems, lane change/merge crash avoidance systems, and road-departure countermeasure systems would yield and annual economic benefit of $25.6 billion (1994).(1997)
