List of recommendations

Accident Causation Data

Impact assessment of safety systems

3.	Develop a methodology to assess the potential impact of intelligent integrated road safety technologies in Europe. Develop a validation methodology and procedures for vehicles equipped with intelligent integrated road safety systems.
4.	Set up a coordinated validation framework for operational tests in the Member States.

Human-Machine Interaction

5.	Assess the reports by the Member States on the Commission recommendation, and decide on further actions. Urgent action is needed to assess the risk of portable (nomadic) devices.
6.	Develop workload assessment, testing and certification methodology for complex in-vehicle working environments.

Road Map for Intelligent Integrated Safety

7a)	Develop Road Maps with technical steps and economic implications for the introduction of intelligent integrated road safety systems in Europe.
7b)	The public sector Road Maps should indicate the investments required for improvements in the road networks and information infrastructure.

Intelligent Integrated Road Safety Systems including ADAS

8)	Analyse existing accident causation data and possible countermeasures and determine clear goals and priorities for further RTD.
9)	Where necessary, develop specifications for interfaces and communications protocols for vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure communications.
10)	Pursue international cooperation.

The European Safety Map database

11)	Define requirements for a European digital road map database, with agreed road safety attributes. Create a public-private partnership to produce, maintain certify and distribute this database.

Emergency calls and E-112

12)	Adopt the Commission Recommendation on the introduction and implementation of E-112 in Europe.
13)	Establish a European Emergency Communications Forum to continue the CGALIES work.
14)	For in-vehicle emergency calls (e-Calls), establish data requirements and data transfer protocols. Establish interfaces and e-Call routing and handling.

Real-time Traffic and Traveller Information (RTTI) for road safety

15)	Analyse the Member States' responses to the RTTI Recommendation and draw up further actions.
16)	Create public-private partnerships to capture, process and provide real-time traffic, travel and road condition data including Floating Vehicle Data.
17)	Support the wider use of the pan-European RDS/TMC network for safety-related traffic information. Provide a report with required actions to the European Commission on the status of RDS/TMC implementation and the remaining bottlenecks.

Motor vehicle type-approval legislation

18)	Determine what actions may be required for bringing rapidly forward road safety improvements obtainable with intelligent integrated road safety systems in vehicles.

Safety systems standards and regulation in the EU: State of the art

19)	Analyse specific needs and priorities of intelligent integrated safety systems for standardisation in ISO, CEN and ETSI. Promote accelerated standardisation.

Legal issues of market introduction of Intelligent Integrated Road Safety Systems

20)	Develop a methodology for risk-benefit analysis, achieve a consensus on a European Code of Practice, and establish guidelines for facilitating market introduction of intelligent integrated safety systems.

Ultra wide-band 24 GHz short range radar

21)	Take the necessary actions for removing regulatory barriers to the use of the 24 GHz band for short-range radar in Europe.
22)	Undertake the standardisation in ETSI for the 24 GHz UWB radar.

Societal aspects

23)	Estimate the socio-economic benefits, which can be obtained through the reduction of fatalities, injuries and material damage.
24)	Stimulate and support road users and fleet owners to buy vehicles equipped with intelligent road safety systems.

The different business cases

25)	Identify best practices for positive business cases to promote the introduction of intelligent integrated road safety systems.
26)	Support the eCall business model by implementing the full service chain and ensuring interoperability and compatibility with E-112.

User Outreach

27)	Design and execute awareness campaigns that explain the benefits, functioning and use of the intelligent integrated road safety systems to the consumers.

eSafety Forum

28)	Create an eSafety Forum with the objective to monitor and promote the implementation of these recommendations, and support the development, deployment and use of intelligent integrated road safety systems.
