Abstract
The DUBSAFE sub-project is developing an accident recording system using Advanced Transport Telematics (ATT) to improve existing methods. The DUBSAFE system is designed to improve the accuracy of accident data whilst being easy to use and lower in cost than similar systems which require dedicated vehicles. DUBSAFE includes the development of a prototype system to demonstrate the functionality of the full system, together with a field trial in which the use of the prototype system is being assessed. Although DUBSAFE is a relatively small part of the ATT Programme, it addresses the problems, common throughout the European Union, of inaccurate data recording and the under-reporting of accidents.
