Abstract
Even if the current developments of safety-related ITS can constitute a
real improvement of road safety, these developments nevertheless raise
numerous questions about behavioural adaptations as responses to their
implementation. The paper presents results from several reviews, one of them
the EU-project HUMANIST and addresses aspects of road safety associated with
ITS-applications, notably effects of ABS, ESC, eCALL, Accident Data Recorders,
VMS, speed cameras, mobile telephone use and night-time vision enhancement
systems. Estimates of the effects on accidents, calculated by meta-analysis,
induced exposure, or in-depth accident studies, are presented. Behavioural
adaptations to ITS are considered and discussed, especially in terms of risk
compensation mechanisms.
