Abstract
In this subproject, the impact of Cruise Control (CC) was analysed with respect to traffic safety, energy consumption, and environmental pollution. In order to work on this topic from a European perspective, a team of European experts in the fields of driver assistance systems, human factors, engineering and road safety contributed. The subproject was split up into six workpackages: • WP 3.1: Current policy and practice for CC in the EU Member States • WP 3.2: Level of usage of CC by class of vehicles in the EU • WP 3.3: Identifying issues associated with use of CC • WP 3.4: Estimation of the impact of CC on fuel consumption and environmental pollution • WP 3.5: Impact of CC across jurisdictional boundaries • WP 3.6: Recommendations for further actions at an EU level
