In road traffic, extensive use is already being made of modern information and communication technologies, both at the roadside and in the vehicle itself. These technologies are collectively known as Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS). A subsection of ITS related to road safety applications is called electronic safety (e-safety). It is a common belief today that future road safety progress in the advanced countries will be associated with a massive application of e-safety systems. However, given the variety of systems being developed in the world and the uncertainty of their safety effects, practical questions rise as to selecting the e-safety systems to be promoted in a country. Thus, a study was commissioned in Israel, having two main goals: 1. To map existing e-safety systems in the world and to review their safety efficiency as appears in studies from the latest years. 2. To assess expected safety effects from promoting selected systems in Israel. This publication may be accessed by Internet users at: http://www.ictct.org/workshop.php?workshop_nr=35
