A
body of research unique worldwide has been documented in the RESPONSE
final report, entitled "The Integrated Approach of User, System,
and Legal Perspective: Final Report on Recommendations for Testing and
Market Introduction of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems."
Sponsored by the European Commission within their Telematics Application
Program, RESPONSE ran from 1998 - 2001 and has been the only comprehensive
and ongoing project that addresses legal, user, and societal perspectives
for the introduction of ADAS. The project covered both driver assistance
and vehicle automation, as well as driver responsibility, provider (manufacturer)
liability, and legal and institutional consequences. The project was
led by Dr. Stefan Becker while he was with the TÜV Kraftfahrt GmbH
research institute, in the section for Innovation, Market, and Consumer
Research.
The strength of the RESPONSE team creates a strong credibility to the
results. Vehicle manufacturers BMW, DaimlerChrysler, Fiat, Jaguar, Peugeot
Citroen, Renault, Volkswagen, and Volvo participated, with Bosch, Autocruise,
and the Motor Industry Research Association of Great Britain rounding
out the vehicle industry players. Also involved were the Transport Research
Foundation (Great Britain) and the Swedish National Road and Transport
Research Institute. Legal and societal expertise was provided by another
six firms, representing Great Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Spain,
and Sweden.
The 300-plus page report
(!) contains chapters including:
- Overview on advanced
driver assistance systems and their classification
- The average driver and
driver-system interaction
- System requirements
- System assessment
- Legal aspects of testing
- Legal aspects of market
introduction
- Final recommendations
and outlook
The report can be downloaded
at the website: www.adase2.net/response. Look for an in-depth IVsource
review of the report in the coming months.
Meanwhile, RESPONSE II will continue to examine these issues in the
light of newly evolving driver assistance systems. Dr. Becker, who has
now moved to the Electrical and Electronic Systems Engineering Department
at Ford in Cologne, Germany, will continue to lead the project. Most
of the same partners from RESPONSE I will continue to be involved, along
with international participation from overseas.
