Crash Avoidance Metrics Partners

What Crash Avoidance Metrics Partners does

Crash Avoidance Metrics Partners LLC (CAMP) is a private, pre-competitive automotive research consortium founded by Ford Motor Company and General Motors. Originally formed as the Crash Avoidance Metrics Partnership in 1995 and incorporated as CAMP LLC in 2013, the organization has operated continuously since 1996 from its headquarters at 27220 Haggerty Road, Suite D1, Farmington Hills, Michigan, with a staff of 1-10. Its stated mission is to define and develop pre-competitive elements of automotive crash avoidance countermeasures and accelerate their implementation to improve real-world traffic safety.

CAMP's technical focus is connected vehicle safety communications. Its core technology portfolio covers Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V), Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I), and Cellular Vehicle-to-Everything (C-V2X) communications, Dedicated Short-Range Communications (DSRC) at 5.9 GHz, the Security Credential Management System (SCMS), and roadway mapping software. Active and historical projects include Forward Collision Warning, V2V/V2I research, C-V2X Performance Assessment, the Traffic Optimization for Signalized Corridors (TOSCo) program, the SMART Stage 1 and Stage 2 verified connected intersections projects in Utah, the AACE 2.0 project retrofitting the Ann Arbor Connected Environment with C-V2X, Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control (CACC), and the SOADS-CDS cooperative automation consortium. The organization also licenses a Roadway Mapping Software Tool Chain used to create digital maps of reduced-speed zones and lane closures for in-vehicle advisory applications.

CAMP is funded through government cooperative research agreements with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), supplemented by membership contributions from its founding OEMs and project-specific consortium partners. It distributes outputs through technical publications, participation in standards bodies such as SAE International's Connected Transportation Interoperability Committee (CTIC), and limited non-exclusive software licensing. Its primary customers are federal transportation agencies (FHWA, NHTSA), automotive OEMs (Ford, GM), state departments of transportation (e.g., UDOT), and university transportation research institutes (e.g., UMTRI). Revenue figures are not publicly disclosed.

Core offering

Crash Avoidance Metrics Partners LLC (CAMP) is a pre-competitive research consortium that defines and develops automotive crash avoidance countermeasures and connected vehicle (V2V, V2I, C-V2X) technologies under cooperative research agreements with the FHWA and NHTSA, jointly managed by Ford Motor Company and General Motors. It produces technical publications, test procedures, performance specifications, and the licensed Roadway Mapping Software Tool Chain to accelerate traffic safety improvements.

Product overview

Crash Avoidance Metrics Partners LLC (CAMP) is a research consortium rather than a traditional product company. It provides a framework for pre-competitive crash avoidance research conducted under cooperative agreements with the FHWA and NHTSA. The primary software offering is the Roadway Mapping Software Tool Chain, which enables creation of digital maps for work zones and safety applications. CAMP's work encompasses vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V), vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I), cellular V2X (C-V2X), and cooperative automated driving systems research, all focused on improving real-world traffic safety through pre-competitive collaboration between automotive manufacturers.

Scale indicators2 records

Recent moves2 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Others

• SAE International: SAE International is the standards body with which CAMP collaborates directly on the Connected Transportation Interoperability Committee (CTIC) and CTI 4501. It is an adjacent standards-setting counterpart rather than a research peer, but a key channel through which CAMP's outputs become industry standards.

Direct peers

• TNO (Netherlands Organisation for Applied Scientific Research): TNO runs large pre-competitive automotive safety and V2X research programs in Europe, frequently partnering with OEMs and EU regulators. Its role as an applied research institute performing crash avoidance and cooperative driving work is directly comparable to CAMP's U.S.-focused consortium model.
• American Center for Mobility: American Center for Mobility is a nonprofit connected and automated vehicle test facility in Michigan that runs pre-competitive research programs with OEMs, Tier 1 suppliers, and USDOT. It is highly comparable to CAMP in operating model, sponsor mix, and focus on V2X/CV verification.
• Southwest Research Institute (SwRI): SwRI operates an independent, contract-based automotive research practice that performs pre-competitive vehicle safety, V2X, and ADAS testing for OEMs and government sponsors. Its funding model and technical scope (test procedures, performance assessments, standards support) closely mirror CAMP's cooperative agreement structure.
• Virginia Tech Transportation Institute (VTTI): VTTI is a university-affiliated transportation research institute that conducts large-scale, pre-competitive safety and automation research, and currently leads the SOADS-CDS consortium alongside CAMP. Both organizations operate at the intersection of OEM-funded safety research and government-sponsored connected/automated vehicle programs.
• 5G Automotive Association (5GAA): 5GAA is a global cross-industry consortium of automakers, suppliers, and mobile operators that defines C-V2X use cases, tests, and standards — directly overlapping CAMP's connected vehicle and C-V2X performance assessment work. Both are multi-stakeholder pre-competitive vehicles shaping the connected-vehicle standards landscape.
• University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute (UMTRI): UMTRI is CAMP's joint sponsor on the AACE 2.0 Ann Arbor Connected Environment project and conducts connected vehicle and behavioral safety research at scale. Both organizations serve as OEM/government-funded pre-competitive research hubs in Southeast Michigan with overlapping focus on V2X and active safety.
• Mcity (University of Michigan): Mcity is a public-private connected and automated vehicle research test facility operating in the same Michigan ecosystem as CAMP. Both conduct pre-competitive CAV research with automotive OEMs and government sponsors, and Mcity's testbed work overlaps with CAMP's verification and test-procedure development for V2X.

Emerging players

• Applus IDIADA: Applus IDIADA is a global automotive engineering services firm providing active safety testing, ADAS validation, and homologation support for OEMs. While commercially oriented, its test-procedure and verification work in crash avoidance / V2X overlaps significantly with CAMP's pre-competitive output.

Broad incumbents

• Euro NCAP: Euro NCAP is the European vehicle safety assessment program that defines test protocols for AEB, lane support, and other active safety features. Its test procedure development work overlaps with CAMP's pre-competitive crash avoidance metrics, although Euro NCAP is consumer-rating focused rather than consortium-driven.
