Impact of cruise control on traffic safety, energy consumption and environmental pollution. Impact Assessment of Safety Measures for Vehicles and Road Equipment IMPROVER, Subproject 3 : final report.

In this subproject, the impact of Cruise Control (CC) was analysed with respect to traffic safety, energy consumption, and environmental pollution. In order to work on this topic from a European perspective, a team of European experts in the fields of driver assistance systems, human factors, engineering and road safety contributed. The subproject was split up into six workpackages: • WP 3.1: Current policy and practice for CC in the EU Member States; • WP 3.2: Level of usage of CC by class of vehicles in the EU; • WP 3.3: Identifying issues associated with use of CC; • WP 3.4: Estimation of the impact of CC on fuel consumption and environmental pollution; • WP 3.5: Impact of CC across jurisdictional boundaries; • WP 3.6: Recommendations for further actions at an EU level.
