Researchers at ITS Institute are out to improve all kinds of transportation.
What if your car could warn you when you're speeding and even slow you down? With Intelligent Speed Adaptation (ISA)--a driver-assistance system--that possibility may not be too distant. Research in Europe on this system has been going on systematically since the mid-1990s, but the response to ISA in the United States has generally been “good idea but not feasible here.” So what makes it more acceptable in Europe? Has acceptance changed over time? And what would it take for ISA to become acceptable to the U.S. public? This talk will cover both attitudinal and behavioral results from field operational tests and will also look at the crash savings and environmental benefits from ISA.
