Samenvatting
ISA-project Ghent : large acceptance of Intelligent Speed Adaptation. In October 2002, the first ISA-trial in Belgium started in Ghent. 34 cars and 3 buses were equipped with the ‘active accelerator pedal.’ The main objectives of the trial in Ghent were: to evaluate the effects of ISA on speed-change, traffic safety, drivers’ attitude and behaviour, and drivers’ acceptance; to create a further bearing surface of ISA and; to create an acceptance of ‘ISA as a potential for road-safety’ by the public opinion and decision makers. The test-drivers noticed a large acceptance of ISA. Even the drivers wished to keep the system after the trial. (Author/publisher)
