Samenvatting
This study explores the potential socio-economic impact of intelligent vehicle safety systems. This methodology provides a basis for rational decisions about research and development priorities and about the selection and use of vehicle-based safety systems. The study proposes a comprehensive approach for the assessment of IVSS which integrates current research on emerging safety technologies and market deployment scenarios, traffic impacts and a benefit-cost analysis. Following this exploratory study, further research is needed to qualify and expand the proposed methodology. (Author/publisher)
