Abstract

Traffic safety is constantly increasing in Europe the last decade but not as much as planned and aimed at. This chapter introduces the major types of persistent driver errors and support needs as well as a methodology leading from problem recognition to proposing technical solution and implementation scenarios to avert them. The results of the other chapters of this book have been obtained working across the lines of this methodology, driving the IN-SAFETY project and beyond.
