Cable runs to and from sensors were routed in a manner to allow <strong>for</strong> sustained testing and occupant<br />

safety. Consideration was given to shielding these cables from engine/exhaust heat as well as damage<br />

from objects thrown from the roadway. The step-by-step integration process is described in the<br />

System Installation section of the System Design and Operations Document (SDOD – see Appendix<br />

D, Section 6).<br />

2.6.2 Sensor/DAS Verification and Calibration<br />

All sensors, cabling, and the DAS were verified <strong>for</strong> operation after the initial integration. This<br />

verification took place at the Schrader truck yard. Verification in<strong>for</strong>mation is included in the<br />

Operational Procedures section of the SDOD (Appendix D, Section 8).<br />
