Proceedings - 19th International Technical Conference on the Enhanced Safety of Vehicles (ESV), Washington, D.C., June 6-9, 2005

The Enhanced Safety of Vehicles (ESV) Program originated more than 30 years ago under the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Committee on the Challenges of Modern Society, and was implemented through bilateral agreements between the Governments of the United States, France, the Federal Republic of Germany, Italy, the United Kingdom, Japan, and Sweden. The participating nations agreed to develop experimental safety vehicles to advance the state-of-the-art technology in automotive engineering and to meet periodically to exchange information on their progress. Since its inception the number of international partners has grown to include the governments of Canada, Australia, the Netherlands, Hungary, Poland, and two international organizations -- the European Enhanced Vehicle-safety Committee, and the European Commission. A representative from each country and organization serves as a Government Focal Point in support of the Conference. The technical papers included in this publication detail safety research efforts underway worldwide, and share the common international objective of reducing motor vehicle related fatalities and injuries.
