🏎️ 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

🔍 Key takeaways:
• Translating human behaviour into code = tough
• Design choices shape real-world AV behaviour
• Collaboration across disciplines is essential 🤝

🚘 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.

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: https://t.co/YGTMKxPYNy
