ESV 2001~Government status report from The Netherlands: Exploring the role of telematics in road safety, a Dutch perspective 2001-06-0122
This paper elaborates how within the framework of the new Dutch
National Transport Policy Paper the high expectations regarding
contributions of new technologies will influence the objective to
further improve road safety. In this respect it may be concluded
that:
- New telematic applications are coming, either as an addition
to current instruments or sometimes even as a replacement for
existing instruments.
- As an example for this development it may be concluded that
Intelligent Speed Management has potentials, there is public
acceptance and promising perspectives for possible effects.
- In order to proceed with these technologies it is important to
show their benefits in relation to acknowledged safety
problems.
