Implementation Road Map

The Implementation Road Map Working Group of the eSafety Forum commenced its activities in July 2003. Its objectives were to identify the technical and economical potential of the industry as well as the topics and timetable for infrastructure improvements by the public sector with regard to eSafety systems capable of affecting road fatalities in Europe by 2010. It also was tasked with a regular review of the implementation road map. After a collection period of all available information and sources concerning eSafety relevant systems, a suitable structure was found in defining vehicle-based systems as well as infrastructure-based systems and combined solution such as eCall.

A comprehensive assessment was carried out to study the maturity and potential of all eSafety systems and concluded by the identifications of eleven priority systems. Five of these were vehicle-based systems:

• ESP (Electronic Stability Program)
• Blind spot monitoring
• Adaptive head lights
• Obstacle & collision warning
• Lane departure warning

The priority infrastructure-related systems are:

• eCall
• Extended environmental information (Extended FCD)
• RTTI (Real-time Travel and Traffic Information)
• Dynamic traffic management
• Local danger warning
• Speed Alert

One key question is how to promote the deployment rate of these systems in future. There are also differences in feasibility between vehicle-based systems and more infrastructure / or mixed systems within the business case. Different incentives are likely to enhance the customer awareness for eSafety features. For each priority system, two market penetration forecasts were estimated, one based on "business as usual" conditions and the other on incentives and other measures to promote the deployment of the system. The potential safety effects of the systems were estimated based on research as well as expert assessments using German and Swedish accident statistics and the European CARE accident database.

A number of general recommendations were given to promote the deployment of priority eSafety systems in addition to a number of system specific recommendations and conclusions.

The final report of the Implementation Road Map Working Group was presented at the 2nd eSafety Forum Meeting with the Member States on 18 October 2005. The Implementation Road Maps will be regularly updated in the following years.
