🏎️ Can Intelligent Speed Assistance (ISA) negatively impact safe driving speeds? New SWOV study shows: 🚗 ISA doesn't cause higher speeds in fog or busy traffic 📉 ISA leads to lower average speeds ⚠️ No sign of overreliance on tech 👉📖bit.ly/R-2024-14

🔍 Key takeaways: • Translating human behaviour into code = tough • Design choices shape real-world AV behaviour • Collaboration across disciplines is essential 🤝 📖 Read: swov.nl/en/news/bridgi… #AutomatedVehicles #MobilityInnovation #RoadSafety #AVs #HMI

🚘 Can an automated vehicle truly behave like a human driver? And more importantly — should it? A new #openaccess study in #TrafficSafetyResearch by @SWOV researchers explores how AVs can learn social driving behaviour. Because safety = more than sensors. 👇

Latest on Netherlands road safety! Our factsheet on 'Road Deaths' is out with alarming stats. 🚨SWOV director Martin Damen warns that Dutch road safety has regressed to levels from 15 years ago. Urgent action needed! 🚴‍♂️ Details: swov.nl/en/news/update… #RoadSafety #Netherlands

Wrong-way driving crashes are infrequent, but their outcome is often serious. See our updated 'Wrong-way driving' fact sheet for more info: swov.nl/en/news/fact-s…

In SWOV podcast #9, Canmanie Ponnambalam interviews Linda Boyle (@LindaNgBoyle) about understanding human behavior to safely integrate automation into our transportation systems. Listen now: swov.nl/en/news/swov-p…

Roadsides play an important role in the crash outcomes of both motor vehicle drivers and cyclists. A safe shoulder design can help prevent such run-off-road crashes or reduce them in terms of severity. See our 'Safe roadsides' factsheet for more info: swov.nl/en/news/new-sw…

In 2021, the Netherlands recorded an estimated 6,800 serious road injuries, a figure similar to 2020 but lower than the upward trend observed until 2019. Read the updated factsheet 'Serious road injuries in the Netherlands': swov.nl/en/news/fact-s…
