Surrogate measures of safety and traffic conflict observations

This chapter focuses on surrogate measures of safety (primarily, traffic conflicts) as a tool for site safety analysis. While the traditional approach is to measure safety in terms of number of accidents, the word surrogate implies that other non-accident-based indicators are being used. The chapter briefly describes the theory underpinning...

Deliverable D7.1: Test and Evaluation Plan

The general objective of AdaptIVe is to develop and demonstrate new functionalities provided by partially-automated and highly-automated vehicles. These applications cover different speed regimes and driving scenarios and aim at improving safety, energy efficiency, dependability and user-acceptance of automated driving. The introduction of...

Impact assessment methodology in interactIVe

This paper describes the safety impact assessment methodology that is developed and used for the evaluation of safety related Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) in the interactIVe project. The used method builds on the assessment method that was developed in the projects eIMPACT and PReVAL, and is refined in interactIVe. With this method...

Deliverable D7.4: Test and evaluation plans

interactIVe introduces safety systems that autonomously brake and steer. The driver is continuously supported by interactIVe assistance systems. They warn the driver in potentially dangerous situations. The systems do not only react to driving situations, but are also able to actively intervene in order to protect occupants and vulnerable road...

Deliverable D7.2: Specifications of the Evaluation Framework

interactIVe has the objective to develop new integrated Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). In order to evaluate these systems, an evaluation framework is required. Therefore, a horizontal subproject called “Evaluation and Legal Aspects” is part of interactIVe, with the main objective to provide this framework and give support to the...

Deliverable 7.1: Requirements for the Evaluation Framework

interactIVe has the objective to develop new integrated Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). In order to evaluate these ADAS, an evaluation framework is required. Therefore, a horizontal subproject called “Evaluation and Legal Aspects” is part of interactIVe, with the main objective to provide this framework and give support to the...

Recommendations for speed management strategies and policies

This report from the project MASTER (MAnaging Speeds of Traffic on European Roads) presents recommendations for speed management strategies and tools, based on 25 other research reports from the same project. As a background for recom-mendations, an overview of the various impacts of speed is given together with a summary of factors affecting...
