Abstract
Still too many deaths and injuries are a result of road safety problems within Europe. Technologies based on combinations of infrastructural and in-vehicle system are expected to show the most cost-effective solutions. This chapter provides an overview of existing and emerging systems and a first evaluation of their safety effects, as the main “building blocks” in constructing scenarios to enhance traffic safety. Although not aiming at a thorough and exhaustive state of the art on such systems, the presented data allow the user to have a better understanding on the proposed and examined evaluation scenaria in other chapters of this book, as well as provide material for thoughts, to allow the reader (and especially any stakeholder) to imagine his/her own scenaria.
