Editorial: Advanced driver assistance systems: behavioural implications of some recent developments

Abstract

The application o f Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), in particular Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), is expected to improve the performance o f road transportation significantly. Public policy makers, among others, are therefore increasingly interested in the implementation o f these systems. Available knowledge on various implementation issues is growing, but still limited. This is due to the complex interactions between technological requirements, market introduction, impacts on driver behaviour and traffic performance and policy priorities. This article provides a framework for ADAS implementation, reviews recent developments in this field and introduces the contributions to this special issue.
