Evaluation of new technologies to improve truck safety performance (high safety vehicle project) 2001-06-0093

The HSV demonstrator vehicle allowed to integrate a wholeset of technologies dedicated to road safety improvement in a commercial use context. This prototype allowed to initiate an evaluating method of improving safety ability for each technology then, in a second time, the wholeset of technologies fitted in the vehicle could be evaluated.

This analysis, completed by an economic study, will determine a grading of safety technologies to be progressively introduced on the market.
