N2 - We analyse the characteristics of early adopters of two
intelligent vehicle safety systems, emergency braking and
speed alert. Car users' experiences with the two systems
and the characteristics of early adopters of the systems
were studied with an online survey organised in five
European countries: Czech Republic, Finland, Germany, the
Netherlands, and Spain. All of the studied variables
related to the user - gender, age, kilometres driven
annually and monthly household income - had a
statistically significant relationship with using
emergency braking. Gender, kilometres driven annually and
monthly household income had a statistically significant
relationship with using speed alert. For both systems,
male drivers were more likely to be the first users of
the systems. In general, the share of users having
experienced the systems also increased with annual
kilometrage and monthly household income. Younger, 18- to
44-year-old drivers were found more likely to have used
emergency braking than older, 65- to 74-year-old drivers.
The results, however, suggest that respondents' annual
kilometrage and monthly household income may be more
strongly associated with using the systems than with age.
