Abstract

Anti Collision Assist is a project in the Telematics Application Programme-Sector Transport of the European 4th Framework Programme (1994-98) for Research and Development. The AC-ASSIST project aimed at demonstrating the functions of collision warning and emergency intervention providing a Collision Avoidance along the longitudinal axis of vehicles. Five European car manufacturers participated to the project (Fiat, Jaguar, Renault, Rover, Volvo) together with three sensor suppliers (Lucas-Variety, Matra, Magneti Marelli). The project had a detailed experimentation phase in early Autumn 1998 on roads (public rural and urban roads for the Collision Warning system and a reserved motorway stretch for the automatic collision avoidance system) near NordHausen in Germany. The paper reports the results of field experiments and the evaluation activities dealing with the traffic safety impact of Anti Collision Assist applications. (A*)
