Ghost driver incidents are a concern for French motorway companies. The accidents generated, of the frontal collision type, are an anxiety-producing phenomenon for the public. Ghost driver incidents are often deliberate violations. They are performed by elderly drivers who are not familiar withmotorway infrastructure or its rules of use or result from behaviour incompatible with driving (alcohol, drugs). Motorway operators have undertakenthe prevention and management of this hazard (geometry, signalling). Theyare effective but insufficient. The eradication of the phenomenon can only be considered with the development of embedded systems and ITS applications. For the covering abstract see ITRD E134653.
