Objective

Road safety engineering measures may reduce casualties by 6.5%. However, the rather high cost of traditional infrastructure construction / adaptations is a prohibiting factor. The combination of new technologies with existing infrastructure may lead to much more cost-efficient solutions.

IN-SAFETY project aims to use intelligent, intuitive and cost-efficient combinations of new technologies and traditional infrastructure best practice applications, in order to enhance the forgiving and self-explanatory nature of roads, by:
- Building consensus on priorities for regulation and standardisation processes and assessing the potential and cost-effectiveness of combined use of such new technologies (ADAS, MS) and innovative HMI concepts.
- Developing and testing new simulation models (micro and macro) and risk analysis tools, to estimate the safety of road environments.
- Developing training tools and curricula for road, TMC and tunnel operators, focusing on the use of new technologies.
