This report focuses on traffic safety aspects of driving support systems. The report consists of two parts. First of all, the report discusses a number of topics, relevant for the implementation and evaluation of driving support systems. These topics include: (1) safety research into driving support systems: (2) the importance of research into driver models and the driving task; (3) horizontal integration of driving support systems; (4) vertical integration of driving support systems; (5) task allocation; and (6) problems of standardization. A number of criticisms and suggestions are made for both researchers and for policy makers. Secondly, a general description of currently investigated driving support systems is provided in the appendices.
