SafeMap: Socio-Economic Assessment of a Dedicated Digital Map for Road Safety Applications

SafeMap is a joint German-French project with partners from industry (car manufacturers, map providers) and governmental research institutes which was launched within the DEUFRAKO initiative in January 2004. The main objective of the SafeMap project is to assess the socio-economic feasibility of a dedicated digital map data base comprising safety related data. To reach this objective, the project has been organized in two main phases. A milestone has been defined by the end of the first phase where a first rough estimation of the effectiveness of this digital map was provided, which has been detailed further on in the second phase. In this paper the technical approach and main results are described: the project will be finished in May 2007.
