Socio-economic variability of safespot cooperative safety systems
conference paper
This paper describes the results of a socio-economic assessment of two cooperative safety systems. One of the systems is based on V2V communication, the other one is based on V2I communication. Both systems are composed of a bundle of applications which have been designed to provide road safety information to the driver. An integrated assessment approach was applied in this study using cost-benefit analysis and stakeholder analysis. The results of the impact assessment show a considerable increase of road safety for both systems. Benefit-cost ratios calculated for the V2V based system are acceptable from a society point of view, whereas the efficiency of the V2I system could not be proved in case of a large-scale equipment of infrastructure. The findings lead to the conclusion that added value can be achieved, if a combined solution (V2V plus V2I) is implemented and low-scale equipment of infrastructure concentrates on accident black spots.
