5 Introduction Comprehensive review of the ETSC in 1999 Intelligent Transportation Systems and Road Safety Some results updated on basis of more recent results E T S C uropean ransport afety ouncil Telematiikka ja turvallisuus LVM Risto Kulmala 5

6 Safety impact mechanisms of ITS 1. Direct effects of an in-vehicle system on the user 2. Direct effects of a roadside system on the user 3. Indirect, behaviour modifying effects on the user - especially delegation of responsibility 4. Effects of an in-vehicle system in the nonusers 5. Modification of interaction between road users Telematiikka ja turvallisuus LVM Risto Kulmala 6

7 Safety impact mechanisms of ITS 6. Effects on exposure 7. Effects on mode choice 8. Effects on route choice 9. Effects on the consequences of accidents Telematiikka ja turvallisuus LVM Risto Kulmala 7

Systems affecting exposure Demand management Demand responsive public transport Car pooling and sharing Park and ride Access Control Road

10 Systems affecting exposure Demand management Demand responsive public transport Car pooling and sharing Park and ride Access Control Road use charging Multimodal information systems Promoting use of public transport Telematiikka ja turvallisuus LVM Risto Kulmala 10

Systems affecting exposure Traffic status information Route choice and timing effects Signal priorities for public transport Route guidance / navigation

11 Systems affecting exposure Traffic status information Route choice and timing effects Signal priorities for public transport Route guidance / navigation Shortest route to destination Changes in travel patterns Freight and fleet management Vehicle kms: -3% Telematiikka ja turvallisuus LVM Risto Kulmala 11

12 Systems affecting exposure / crash risk Selection of road users Electronic driving licence Alco-lock Telematiikka ja turvallisuus LVM Risto Kulmala 12

13 Systems affecting crash risk Speed adaptation Informative intervening % for injury accidents, more reduction for fatal accidents TOO FAST SLOW DOWN! Telematiikka ja turvallisuus LVM Risto Kulmala 13

14 Systems affecting crash risk Variable speed limits with fog warnings ca. -20% with slipperiness warnings ca % by schools ca. -20% effects depend on how the system is working: safety-oriented systems produce safety benefits 80 Telematiikka ja turvallisuus LVM Risto Kulmala 14

15 Systems affecting crash risk Automated speed enforcement -17% Automated signal compliance enforcement -12% Telematiikka ja turvallisuus LVM Risto Kulmala 15

16 Systems affecting crash risk Cruise Control - reduced stress, safety? AICC - reduced speed variance, reduced headways Adaptive CC - reduced speeds & overtakings Telematiikka ja turvallisuus LVM Risto Kulmala 16

17 Systems affecting crash risk Real collision avoidance Predictions % Acceptability? Liability issues? Headway feedback -6% YOU ARE FOLLOWING TOO CLOSELY! Telematiikka ja turvallisuus LVM Risto Kulmala 17

18 Systems affecting crash risk Road weather information Speeds, attention at least -5-10% Telematiikka ja turvallisuus LVM Risto Kulmala 18

19 Systems affecting crash risk Vision enhancement Dark, poor visibility Motorcyclists Junctions, turns Compensation? Game detection & warning Compensation? I AM NOT GAME! Telematiikka ja turvallisuus LVM Risto Kulmala 19

20 Systems affecting crash risk Lane keeping support meeting accidents single run-off-the-road accidents Telematiikka ja turvallisuus LVM Risto Kulmala 20

21 Systems affecting crash risk Driver and vehicle monitoring Drowsiness, illness, drug abuse, losing attention - inform, warn, stop Brakes, tires, lights Cargo shifts, etc. HGV related fatalities -15% Telematiikka ja turvallisuus LVM Risto Kulmala 21

22 Systems affecting crash risk Driver and vehicle monitoring Accident data recorder ( black box ) Digital tachographs in heavy vehicles Monitoring systems -4-20% of total Telematiikka ja turvallisuus LVM Risto Kulmala 22

23 Systems affecting crash risk Incident management Detection, warning and clearance Incident management systems -5-10% Incident warnings - 35% + 9% Queue warnings - rear-end accidents Telematiikka ja turvallisuus LVM Risto Kulmala 23

24 Flow control Systems affecting crash risk Harmonised flow Lane control - little effect Ramp control -10% of ramp accidents - route diversions? Traffic management Telematiikka ja turvallisuus LVM Risto Kulmala 24

25 Traffic control Systems affecting crash risk Signals at T-junctions -15% Signals at X-junctions -30% Area-wide optimised signal control integrated with other traffic management % Telematiikka ja turvallisuus LVM Risto Kulmala 25

Distraction in crashes: California 2002 1. Cell phones 891 2. Radio or CD player 768 3. Children 326 4. Eating 259 5. Reading 166 6.

26 Distraction in crashes: California Cell phones Radio or CD player Children Eating Reading Smoking Electrical equipment Animals Personal hygiene 28 Telematiikka ja turvallisuus LVM Risto Kulmala 26

27 Systems affecting crash consequences Speed and efficiency of help and rescue measures Automated collision / emergency notification Intelligent passive restraints All systems affecting speeds Telematiikka ja turvallisuus LVM Risto Kulmala 27

28 Conclusions Many promising systems Real traffic evidence from field studies or medium-scale demonstrators Prospective analyses - simulators Applicability in Finnish conditions? Little known about effects on exposure Results often deal with short-time effects Telematiikka ja turvallisuus LVM Risto Kulmala 28

29 Safety effects and time (crash risk change in % / month after implem.) Telematiikka ja turvallisuus LVM Risto Kulmala 29
