Impact assessment of Intelligent Vehicle Safety Systems. Socio-economic Impact Assessment of Stand-alone and Co-operative Intelligent Vehicle Safety Systems (IVSS) in Europe eIMPACT, Deliverable D4.

This report provides concrete, unified estimates of traffic and safety effects. Together with Deliverable D6 it forms an integrated estimate of costs and benefits of twelve IVSS. A comprehensive approach was followed to generate the results. The approach made use of scientific and transparent methodologies and state-of-the-art information to generate the results. The impact assessment provides estimates of effects at realistic penetration rates of the IVSS in 2010 and 2020. For each year, two scenarios were considered: a low scenario, for a 'business as usual' situation, and a high scenario, where focused policy incentives are assumed. The functional and technical descriptions of the systems as specified in the project form the basis for the impact assessment. (Author/publisher)
