The market success of CHAUFFEUR systems depend, first of all, on the cost savings in the transport industry. Beneath these private benefits, the system usage leads also to significant benefits for the society. Therefore, the focus of the paper lies on proving the systems' private and social profitability. With that, a methodological framework is presented which allows using cost-benefit analysis for various systems of driver assistance. New technological developments such as the enhanced functionality of the Tow-Bar system in CHAUFFEUR II - the CHAUFFEUR Assistant - will be integrated in modeling the CHAUFFEUR impacts. The analysis gives answers to the following questions: What are the benefits coming from using the system and what is required for an objective assessment of these effects? Enabling a standardized calculation procedure, a traffic simulation model is used which outcomes provide input information for cost-benefit analyses. Empirical results show that the Tow-Bar concept as well as the CHAUFFEUR Assistant could lead to significant benefits for the society. For the covering abstract see ITRD E209471.
