To accomplish this work an Indefinite Delivery/ Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ), Cost Reimbursement Contract is contemplated. The successful offeror will act as a national focal point for the program and establish a team representing commercial vehicle manufacturers and operators. The Program will build upon, develop, and integrate driver and vehicle information, assistance, and control technologies related to critical safety systems, that will improve, significantly, the safety of commercial trucks/trailers and buses. The Program will also develop and validate performance specifications and design guidelines for Intelligent Vehicle Initiative (IVI) systems that will be developed in commercial vehicles in the next few years. Lastly, the Program must assess the value of new and proposed safety products and systems to justify deployment investments in these products/ systems and demonstrate that IVI systems can improve commercial vehicle performance and driving safety.
