Abstract
There is a need to develop a comprehensive framework for the safety
assessment of Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS). This framework
should: (1) cover all three dimensions of road safety—exposure, crash
risk and consequence, (2) cover, in addition to the engineering effect,
also the effects due to behavioural adaptation and (3) be compatible
with the other aspects of state of the art road safety theories. A
framework based on nine ITS safety mechanisms is proposed and discussed
with regard to the requirements set to the framework. In order to
illustrate the application of the framework in practice, the paper
presents a method based on the framework and the results from applying
that method for twelve intelligent vehicle systems in Europe. The
framework is also compared to two recent frameworks applied in the
safety assessment of intelligent vehicle safety systems.
