Intelligent speed adaptation in company vehicles. Paper presented at the 2008 IEEE Intelligent Vehicles Symposium, Eindhoven University of Technology, Eindhoven, The Netherlands, June 4-6, 2008.

This paper describes an Intelligent Speed Adaptation project for company vehicles. The Intelligent Speed Adaptation function in the project is both information and incentive, which means that the Intelligent Speed Adaptation equipment gives a warning as well as penalty points if the driver is speeding. Each month the driver with that month’s fewest points wins an award. The paper presents results concerning speed attitude on the first three of a planned 12 months test period. In all 26 vehicles and 51 drivers from six companies participate in the project. The key result is that speeding is reduced from 18.7% to 7.4% on urban roads with a speed limit of 50 km/h while it is reduced from 18.9% to 4.7% on rural roads with a speed limit of 80 km/h.
