Abstract
The EU-sponsored VRUITS project assesses the safety and
mobility impacts of Intelligent Transport System (ITS)
applications for Vulnerable Road Users (VRUs), assesses
the impacts of current and upcoming ITS applications on
the safety and mobility of VRUs, identifies how the
usability and efficiency of ITS applications can be
improved, and recommends which actions have to be taken
at a policy level to improve ITS safety and mobility.
This chapter describes the results of the first phase of
the project in which the critical scenarios for VRUs are
identified, starting from accident data analysis, and
following user needs based on focus groups and expert
interviews. The result of the work in the different areas
is combined into a consolidated set of outputs,
consisting of recommendations for industry to improve the
efficiency and performance of ITS applications, and of
policy recommendations.
