A gaming and simulation experiment is being conducted in europe to assess the behavioural impacts of in-vehicle intelligent vehicle-highway system (IVHS) technologies. The experiment is being carried out as part of the EURONETT project under the european drive initiative. It concentrates on realtime responses to in-vehicle driver information systems within an urban environment. A brief overview of the drive program is provided. The objectives and scope of the EURONETT project are described, and the role of simulation and experimentation within EURONETT is explained. The experimental design and methodology are then presented, and the measures of effectiveness being used are described. Finally, the innovative gaming approach being adopted is summarised, and application of the results is considered.
