ASSESS - Assessment of Integrated Vehicle Safety Systems for improved vehicle safety

Period

1 July 2009-31 December 2012

Project manager

Helen Fagerlind

ASSESS mobilizes the European research community and car industry to develop a relevant set of test and assessment methods applicable to a wide range of integrated vehicle safety systems. Methods will be developed for driver behavioral aspects, pre crash sensing performance and crash performance under conditions influenced by pre crash driver and vehicle actions. ASSESS aims to stimulate the introduction of new crucial technologies in vehicles to further reduce road fatalities and injuries to car occupants in Europe and to make the traffic environment safer for road users.

Assessment of integrated vehicle safety systems for improved vehicle safety

Road safety is a major societal issue. In 2009, more than 35,000 people died on the roads of the European Union, i.e. the equivalent of a medium town, and no fewer than 1,500,000 persons were injured. The cost for society is huge, representing

A test-based method for the assessment of pre-crash warning and braking systems

In this paper, a test-based assessment method for pre-crash warning and braking systems is presented where the effectiveness of a system is measured by its ability to reduce the number of injuries of a given type or severity in car-to-car rear-end
