V4SAFETY
Vehicles and VRU Virtual eValuation of Road Safety
Impact
V4SAFETY provides a prospective safety assessment framework that can handle a large variety of safety measures, from in-vehicle safety technology, infrastructure solutions to regulations that influence road user behaviour. It includes methods to project the results in future scenarios and over EU regions for use by policymakers, authorities and consumer organisations
Objective
V4Safety strives for comparability of results of safety studies by not only providing the framework but also guidelines for using it. The guidelines show:
- how to select, configure and connect relevant human, vehicle and environment models;
- how to select a baseline approach and how to project to a conclusion to different regions of interest in the EU.
To understand differences between studies and to understand the influence of underlying data, assumptions and models, the method provides tools to characterise the influence of the determinants.
