Third eSafety Observers Regional Meeting, Turin, Italy, 18 September 2006

Key road safety players came together in Turin on 18 September 2006 to review how hi-tech safety systems for cars, so called eSafety systems, can help reduce the number of fatalities and injuries on Europe’s roads.

Organised by eSafety Support and hosted by Centro Ricerche Fiat, the aim of the Turin eSafety Observers Regional meeting was to review how eSafety players in Austria, Italy and Southern Germany can work together to increase public awareness of the benefits of eSafety systems such as Stability Control.

The meeting featured presentations by European Commission and eSafety Support experts, giving an overview of the eSafety initiative and its achievements to date. The initiative, dating from 2002, is dedicated to halving the number of road deaths in Europe by 2010 through the development and deployment of eSafety systems. National road safety players also gave a series of presentations, detailing the status of eSafety development and deployment in the region.
 
High-level participants included Juhani Jääskelainen from the European Commission’s Directorate General for Information Society and Media, Ciro Esposito from the Presidency of the Italian Council of Ministries’ Department for Innovation and Technology, and Paola Carrea Director General of the Fiat Research Centre.
