Department of Applied Human Sciences of the Transport Research Centre Brno, Czech Republic takes part in Europe-wide research project ADVISORS. ADVISORS is a project co-funded by the European Commission, in which governmental and other research institutes, a transport company, insurance companies, and industries of ten different European countries participate. The project focuses on the assessment of driver behaviour changes due to implementation of various types of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems, ADAS. Questionnaires, laboratory tests, driving simulator and on-road tests were used performing in parallel a thorough cost-benefit assessment of each tested scenario, to allow the relevant authorities to select not only reliable, but also affordable evaluation means for ADAS assessment. ADVISORS developed a common framework for the evaluation of ADAS, using an integrated traffic environment approach, considering impact and benefits throughout the traffic chain and not localised only to one type of infrastructure for which the system might be developed. ADVISORS conclude with recommendations for methods of type approval and standardisation of actions for ADAS marketing, as well as legislative, organisational and institutional recommendations for their applications. In the Czech Republic the data was collected by personal interviews. Both private and professional car drivers indicated the navigation function as being the most important function in all three environments. Only the speed limiting level of the ISA function on motorways was considered more important by professional car drivers. Price was unexpectedly mostly considered only the third most important attribute. (A) For the covering abstract of the conference see ITRD no 207828.
