Summary of OS Operations

This deliverable provides an overview of the OS operations during the data collection phase. It contains the vehicles instrumentation towards the start of full-scale operations, the operational tasks involved during the data collection to monitor the vehicles, the drivers and the data quality, the final stage including the de-installation and the exit questionnaire collection and an overview of the final sample and total data collected per OS and per vehicle type. The deliverable concludes with the summary of the learned lessons, in regards to recruitment, instrumentation and data collection

Improving the safety and mobility of vulnerable road users through ITS applications [VRUITS] D2.3 Implementation Scenarios

ITS Applications have in recent years assisted in reducing the number of fatalities in Europe. Howev-er, Vulnerable Road Users (VRUs) have not benefited as much as car users. The EU-sponsored VRUITS project assesses the safety and mobility impacts of ITS applications for VRUs, assesses the impacts of current and upcoming ITS applications on the safety and mobility of VRUs, identifies how the usability and efficiency of ITS applications can be improved, and recommends which actions have to be taken at a policy level to accelerate deployment of such ITS. This report describes general scenarios for the years 2020 and 2030 providing developments focused on road safety trends over time at the EU-level, as well as mobility and comfort trends of VRUs. Be-sides a thorough market analysis has been performed on existing ITS as well as relevant trends and market penetrations, for the applications, identified in VRUITS D2.1. Information has been collected about the likelihood of applying these systems in future years, through questionnaires sent to public administrations in charge of road infrastructure and manufacturers of ITS systems

Impacts on safety - results and implications: TeleFOT [Field Operational Tests of Aftermarket and Nomadic Devices in Vehicles]. D4.4.3 Vol 0.4

This deliverable presents the full and final analysis results in relation to the safety impact assessment. It then draws upon these results to discuss the impact that the functions provided by Nomadic Devices have upon safety. The deliverable is structured so as to present the key results for each Research Question (RQ) and Hypothesis within the main body of the report. These main results are then restructured on a function basis in order to assess the impact of each function upon; • Route Choice • Distance Travelled • Distraction • Speed • Lane positioning • Braking behaviour • Manual activity Further supporting analysis for each RQ is provided in Annex 1. Subsequently, an evaluation is made relating any impacts observed to consequences for safety. This evaluation is made using results that refer to singular functions; results from Field operational tests (FOT) that evaluated bundles of functions are included within the results sections for each Research Question but not included within the evaluation. This is since there are no current rigorous methods accepted within the research community for dealing with bundles of functions; this is being discussed and considered within the revision of the FESTA handbook
