The New South Wales intelligent speed adaptation trial
The New South Wales Centre for Road Safety is currently conducting the largest trial of advisory intelligent speed adaptation (ISA) technology in Australia. More than 100 vehicles are participating in the trial which is being conducted in the Illawarra Region of the state. This trial is unique because each vehicle is connected to a centralised computer system which automatically updates changes to speed zones. The NSW ISA trial aims to: 1. Research the potential road safety benefits of advisory ISA systems in NSW; 2. Measure the economic effects in terms of fuel consumption and effects on travel time of installing ISA systems in NSW vehicles; 3. Assess the acceptability of ISA systems to drivers and managers using and administering private fleets and to drivers of private vehicles. Already more than 2 million individual speed compliance records from trial vehicles have been collected as part of the project. Attitudinal and behavioural studies have also been conducted as part of the trial. Initial results of changes to speed zone compliance and the results of the in-vehicle behavioural observational study trial were presented at the conference.
