12 From user needs to applications: the Safespot approach based on road accident data analysis 6th European congress on ITS, Aalborg /15 Potential Impact Based on the Safety related scenarios Gives Percentage of accidents or situations that are covered by each application Road departure prevention Scope: Accident causes: All causes where a road departure can be the main or an aggravating factor and where the application speed alert is not strongly relevant. Related Use cases: -Obstacles : SP5_UC16 -Misjudgement : SP5_UC21 -Rule violation: SP5_UC32 -Critical environment conditions : SP5_UC41, SP5_UC42, SP5_UC45 -Safety improving driver assistance : Potential impact (The Road Departure application will impact on all the 3 main environments) Urban area Scenario : Driver’s lack of vigilance - leaving the carriageway: 20% Supposing a 100% reliable system working on all the cars, then we could expect that the Road Departure application would cover around 20% of the German urban lethal accidents. Rural area The French data analysis on rural roads reports that between 30% and 40% of the accidents are of “Run-off road” type. These figures give an idea of the potential impact of a 100% reliable SAFESPOT system working on all the cars and in all the areas. Motorway Scenario : Driver’s lack of vigilance - Veer of the lane 25% A 100% reliable SAFESPOT system should be able to manage about 25% of road departure accidents in Italian and French motorways.
