Safety effects of co-operative intelligent vehicle safety systems

eIMPACT studies the socio-economic impacts of in-vehicle safety systems covering all relevant impacts of the systems. This paper focuses on the assessments of the safety impacts of the intelligent vehicles safety systems. The systems are: full speed range adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning and blind spot monitoring, lane keeping assistant, driver drowsiness monitoring and warning, electronic stability control (ESC), emergency braking, vision enhancement, pre-crash safety application, eCall, wireless hazard warning, speed alert, and intersection safety system. The methodology for estimating the safety impacts step by step is described. Safety impact estimates are provided as an illustrative example for one sub-system out of the total twelve systems studied in eIMPACT. This is traffic light assistance in the intersection safety system. For the covering abstract see ITRD E140665.
