8

Technical availability: given (camera required)

Organisational/regulatory requirements: liability issues

Other barriers: cost, liability concerns

User acceptance: tbd (false/missing alarms, HMI)

Business case: essential for customers, especially buyers of small cars

Improve customer business case by insurance and tax incentives

Increase customer awareness with EuroNCAP and campaigns

Infrastructure requirements: good lane markings

Verify safety benefits

2005 2010

Move progressively towards widespread availability

Develop clearer liability policies

EBR Emergency Braking - Törmäyksenestojärjestelmät

PCV Pre-Crash Protection of Vulnerable Road Users - Kevyt liikenne

LCA Lane Change Assistant (Warning) - Kaistanvaihdon tuki

LKS Lane Keeping Support - Kaistalla pysymisen tuki

NIW NightVisionWarn - Pimeän ajan tuki

DDM Driver Drowsiness Monitoring and Warning - Vireystilan tarkkailu

ECA eCall (one-way communication) - Automaattinen hätäkutsu

INS Intersection Safety - Risteysajon turvallisuustuki

WLD Wireless Local Danger Warning - Paikallinen langaton varoitus
