Final report on a Washington State Transit Insurance Pool (WSTIP) pilot program to assess the Rosco/Mobileye Shield+ system collision avoidance warning system (CAWS) specifically designed for transit buses. This project involved field testing and evaluation of the CAWS in revenue service over a three-month period. The system provides alerts and warnings to the bus driver for the following conditions that could lead to a collision: - changing lanes without activating a turn signal (lane departure warning was disabled for this pilot),
- exceeding posted speed limit,
- monitoring headway with the vehicle leading the bus,
- forward vehicle collision warning, and
- pedestrian or cyclist collision warning in front of, or alongside the bus.
