Abstract

Ghost driver incidents are a concern for French motorway companies. The accidents generated, of the frontal collision type, are an anxiety-producing phenomenon for the public. Ghost driver incidents are often deliberate violations. They are performed by elderly drivers who have lost their marksand are not familiar with motorway infrastructure or its rules of use or results from behaviour incompatible with driving (alcohol, drugs). Motorway operators have undertaken the prevention and management of this hazard (geometry, signing). The eradication of the phenomenon can only be considered with the development of embedded systems and intelligent transport system applications. For the covering abstract see ITRD E139491.
