This paper presents the developed system to evaluate Forward Vehicle Collision Warning Systems. The main function of a FVCWS is to warn the driver when the subject vehicle encounters the situation that a forward vehicle becomes a potential hazard. Because warning distance algorithms under same dangerous conditions vary according to automobile manufactures and component suppliers, these systems in the situation are needed to warn the driver at a warning distance that is considered of human factors. Therefore, there is required a system to evaluate the pertinence of warning timing in an identical hazard situation. The evaluation system consists of sensors to measure speed and acceleration of subject vehicle and target vehicle, controllers to follow the velocity profile that should meet the same unsafe conditions and wireless telecommunication equipments for receiving or transmitting the measured data. And, the system has a software to monitoring the test data in real-time and, after field test, to analyze value such as time gap. Consequently, the system is adequate to evaluate warning distance of FVCWS type systems.
