Advanced Safety System Priorities: Final Report
This study focuses on identifying national casualty problems related to intelligent vehicles and advanced safety technologies; in particular, which safety functions are required to have substantial impacts on the biggest groups of accidents, and therefore casualties, in Great Britain. There is currently a large range of production and near-production systems that purport to have significant safety benefits; however, evaluating the features intended to avoid an accident in terms of likely casualty savings is difficult, which is why the focus of this study is important. In this study, there is a prioritisation of safety functions which did the following: identified the most effective way, in terms of the most cost beneficial effect and the largest likely effect, to address casualties in the key national accident groups; and in situations where the same casualty groups can be addressed by different primary safety countermeasures, identified potential overlaps in the target populations for safety functions.
