• cost for information infrastructure (investment / maintenance)• year of technical readiness• year of implementation readiness• user acceptance and willingness to pay for• year of implementation by regulation• specific implementation issues• estimation of cars equipped with at 2010 / 2020• other actors involved for implementationNot all questions could be appropriately answered but it was possible to create a table ofgenerally prioritized systems which will have a reasonable impact of the number of fatalities andwith a reasonable deployment for the timeframe which is on focus.The priority vehicle based systems are :ESP (Electronic Stability Program)Blind spot monitoringAdaptive head lightsObstacle & collision warningLane departure warningThe priority infrastructure-related systems are:Extended environmental information (Extended FCD)RTTI (Real-time Travel and Traffic Information)Dynamic traffic managementLocal danger warningSpeed AlertOne key question is how to promote the deployment rate of these systems in future. There arealso differences in feasibility between vehicle-based systems and more infrastructure / or mixedsystems within the business case. Different incentives are likely to enhance the customerawareness for eSafety features. For each priority system, two market penetration forecasts wereestimated, one based on “business as usual” conditions and the other based on incentives andother measures to promote the deployment of the system.The potential safety effects of the systems were estimated based on research as well as expertassessments using German accident statistics and the European CARE accident data base.Page 337 of 490
