Abstract
The main aim of this study was to assess the potential
impacts of real-time personal road traffic in-vehicle
information systems on injury accidents in Finland. An
expert survey was used to measure the safety impacts. The
results showed that a weather and road condition warning
service and a well-implemented route and service guidance
system would improve traffic safety and reduce the number
of injury accidents in Finland. Incident warning systems
do not have a notable safety impact due to the small
number of incidents on Finnish roads, but their primary
purpose is to improve traffic flow.
