ISA implementation in Sweden: from research to reality

The relationship between speed and road safety has been well known among road safety experts for a long time. In the beginning of 1990's, interest for modern information technology solutions grew in Sweden. Several research and demonstration projects were carried out and as a result, approximately 3000 cars have been equipped with new ISA (intelligent speed adaptation) technology from the open market. In this paper the experience from the implementation of ISA systems in Sweden will be presented. Both the hardware and strategic aspects will be discussed.
