Thefirst case means the current situation with no extra measures to accelerate the roll-out of eSafetysystems. In the second case, tax incentives, enhanced customer awareness programs, insurancecompanies incentives for eSafety Systems, and EU support actions for deployment (e.g. TEN-Tsupport) have been carried out, and standardisation has reduced the prices.The level of market penetration or deployment was estimated in the following categories:- Very high 80 up to 100 %- High 50 up to 80 %- Medium 20 up to 50 %- Low 5 up to 20 %- Very low 0 up to 5 %The estimates of the level of market penetration for priority vehicle-based systems are given inTable 5.Page 346 of 490
