The European PROSPER-project: Final results of the trial on Intelligent Speed Adaptation (ISA) in Belgium

In October 2002 a first ISA-trial in Belgium was held in Ghent. Until January 2004, 34 cars and 3 buses were equipped with the “active accelerator pedal (AAP)”. This means when the driver attempted to exceed the speed limit, a resistance in the accelerator was activated. If necessary, the driver could overrule the system. To study the effect of the ISA-system both surveys and analyses of driving data were held. Data logging shows a clear effect of the ISA-system on speeding behaviour. Speeding reduces significantly. There is however still a large remaining percentage of distance speeding, espe... Mehr ...
