Speed is a key factor for safety!
Speed management is an important traffic safety tool, extensively used in
Europe (Increase fines in UK just the other week!)
More and more customers appreciate knowledge in the cars about the
speed limit
FOTs show significant benefits when ISA is used

The system was installed along routes with above average mortality
rates.
Tutor speed control is currently in operation on more than 2,500 km of
lanes (approx. 40% of the Autostrade per l'Italia Group network)
and has allowed recording of a significant reduction in the average speed
(-15%)
• Mortality rate: -51%
• Accident rate, with injuries: -27%
• Accident rate: -19%

We are in a new position!
After market navigation systems have contained speed data for several
years. (Map data suppliers are collecting the info)
Vehicle integrated camera based systems are entering the market at a
rapid pace
Best practice is systems using both camera and map information
The really big thing is that vehicle industry, OEM:s and map data
providers all are on board
The speed information quality is good enough to directly connect to
limiters and ACC:s
Best practice is really, really good!

• Police can focus the real offenders
• The professional traffic can support their drivers not to speed (and
monitor)
• Better speed culture can spread to other road users
• Driving becomes less stressful
• Automated cars will not break the law
What can happen
