Cel During 2000 there were 41,083 road deaths across the EU; 185,000 persons were seriously injured and a further 1.56m persons were casualties. Of the 41,083 deaths, 8,217 (20%) can be attributed to, or were caused by, During 2000 there were 41,083 road deaths across the EU; 185,000 persons were seriously injured and a further 1.56m persons were casualties. Of the 41,083 deaths, 8,217 (20%) can be attributed to, or were caused by, commercial vehicles including, buses, trucks and vans, and of these, 1,297 (15.79%) can be attributed to tyre failure resulting from worn out tyres & low tyre pressures. 1n addition, over 360 million vehicle tyres enter the EU waste stream/annum representing a waste load of 2.5 mt of which 38% belonged to commercial vehicles. Research shows that the average life of a leased commercial vehicle tyre is 130,OOO km, but that this could be increased to 320,OOO km by proper tyre management with poor tyre management leading to 576 million litres of fuel wasted across the EU by commercial vehicles alone, producing an additional 1.55 mt of CO2 emissions. The European Commission's 2001 White Paper for 2010: time to decide¿ states the EU¿s commitment to reduce the number of road deaths within the EU by 50% by 2010, and the situation is worsening, 'Heavy goods traffic alone will increase by nearly 50% over its 1998 level'. The white paper also states 'strong economic growth in the candidate countries will also increase transport flows, particularly road haulage traffic' so the problem is worsening. The underlying cause of these problems is a lack of regular tyre management on all vehicles, with the current process reliant on manual tyre checking. Therefore, we propose to develop an integrated, automated, real-time tyre management system incorporating an automatic tyre tread depth monitor. This proposal complies with the Work Programme for Horizontal Research Activities 1.2.2. Objectives; In addition this proposal also conforms to parts-of 1ST Thematic Area 2 Information Society Technologies 2.3.1.10 'eSafety for Road and Air Transport'.
