  1. b a s t • Activities of BASt in the area of ITS • Dr. Christhard Gelau • Bundesanstalt für Straßenwesen/Federal Highway Research Institute (BASt) • Department “Automotive Engineering”, • Unit “Vehicle Safety Evaluation, Driver Assistance Systems” e-mail: gelau@bast.de www.bast.de

  2. Research issues in the area of ITS Main activities in the eSafety initiative Main activities in the International Harmonized Research Activities on ITS (IHRA-ITS) Activities of BASt in the area of ITS Outline

  3. Research issues in the area of ITS Direct safety risks, arising from: • Driver distraction • Driver workload, especially overload

  4. Research issues in the area of ITS Indirect safety risks, arising from: • Learning, skill development and transfer • Manipulation and misuse of telematics and Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS)

  5. Research issues in the area of ITS Requirements and implementation issues, e.g.: • Intelligent Speed Management • Special user groups (e.g. elderly drivers) • Legal and organisational requirements • Identification of safety potentials by accident analyses

  6. Main activities in the eSafety initiative The eSafety initiative: • Joint private-public sector initiative launched by the European Commission in 2002 in order to increase road safety by means of modern information and communication technologies (50% reduction of fatalities by 2010) • Overall objective: European strategy to accelerate research, development and deployment Intelligent Integrated Road Safety Systems

  7. Joint platform involving all road safety stakeholders Dealing with the problems of introducing intelligent vehicle safety systems including the business rationale eSafety Working Groups to focus on the domain-specific priority areas eSafety Forum promotes and monitors the recommendations identified by the Working Groups Main activities in the eSafety initiative The eSafety Forum

  8. eCall Real Time Traffic Information HMI International Cooperation Accident Causation Analysis Research and Development Road Maps Heavy Vehicles (to be set up in 2004) Public Outreach (to be set up in 2004) Main activities in the eSafety initiative eSafety Working Groups:

  9. Main activities in the eSafety initiative eSafety Working Group HMI • Chair: Annie Pauzie, INRETS, F Alan Stevens, TRL, UK Christhard Gelau, BASt, D •  Objective:   • To identify HMI related problems likely to negatively impact on safety or markets for in-vehicle systems including “Nomad Systems” • To further develop existing EU Statement of Principles (ESoP) based on latest and future technological developments and applications

  10. Main activities in the eSafety initiative eSafety Working Group HMI Progress: • Identification, listing and clustering of HMI related problems from available Member State reports and other relevant sources, “Problem Statements” for each cluster elaborated • Proposal of a “Solution Matrix” (ongoing)

  11. Activities in the International Harmonised Research Activities on ITS (IHRA-ITS) Working Group IHRA-ITS • Representatives from Canada, France, Germany, Japan, Sweden, U.K., U.S. • BASt contributes to regular activities (conceptual framework, workshops, survey of current research, priority projects)

  12. Activities in the International Harmonised Research Activities on ITS (IHRA-ITS) Working Group IHRA-ITS • Priority project: Development of a harmonised safety evaluation methodology framework • Joint German/Swedish/Japanese project on secondary task methods • Assessment of workload due to the use of in-vehicle information and communication systems • Results fit into the framework provided by projects like ADAM and CAMP (see 131st WP.29, Inf. Doc. No. 6)

  13. Activities of BASt in the area of ITS Summary and conclusions • Research targeted at the assessment of safety-related effects of ITS • Priority on HMI and the development of assessment tools • Provide input for standardisation and regulation

  14. Thank you for your attention! Activities of BASt in the area of ITS
