FAST-zero’15 : proceedings of the 3rd International Symposium on Future Active Safety Technology Toward Zero Traffic Accidents, Gothenburg, Sweden, 9-11 September 2015.

FAST-zero 2015 was held in Gothenburg, Sweden. After two events in Japan (FAST-zero’11 in Tokyo, and FAST-zero’13 in Nagoya), the symposium was held outside Japan for the first time. Sweden was a natural choice for a FAST-zero symposium since the Swedish parliament was the first to announce a Vision Zero policy. The main idea of this policy is simple: No loss of life in traffic is acceptable. The approach is innovative; since humans make mistakes, instead of making the driver responsible, vehicles and traffic system solutions must be designed so that accidents are avoided.
