The main tasks of the project reported here were to: investigate car driver behaviour with ISA by means of set of field trials with a voluntary ISA; study overtaking behaviour with ISA in a driving simulator; prepare an ISA design for motorcycles and large trucks and to build a demonstrator of each; investigate the costs and benefits of ISA. This report covers all the major aspects of the project work, namely the field trials with the car fleet, the more limited on-road trial with an equipped truck, the test-track trial with an adapted motorcycle, the simulator experiments on a situation that was considered to have the potential to become problematic with ISA, namely overtaking, and the work on implementation scenarios which has examined the accident reduction potential of ISA and evaluated the costs and benefits of ISA introduction. More detailed reports on each of these topics have been produced. (Author/publisher)
