Abstract
The basic aims of the IN-SAFETY project lied upon the principles of “forgiving” and “self-explanatory” road environments. As the overall aim of the project was “to use intelligent, intuitive and cost-efficient combinations of new technologies and traditional infrastructure best practice applications, in order to enhance the forgiving and self-explanatory nature of roads”, these two parameters were the main axes that defined the work of the project. The overall concept within which “forgiving” and “self-explanatory” roads lie, is this of sustainable safety, as part of the broader sense of sustainable development, which has been set as one of the major priorities of the EU policy towards achieving the goals of the White Paper of 2001 (COM 2001). In this chapter, the concept of sustainable safety is being discussed and special focus is put on technologies and implementation scenarios leading towards “forgiving” and “self explanatory” road environments.
