RESPONSE2

Human, system and legal aspects of active safety systems

RESPONSE2 contributes on a generic level to a fast and 'safe' market introduction of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) using its integrated perspective on human, system, and legal aspects.

Objectives

• Analyse scenarios to describe the risks and possibilities of the market introduction of ADAS
• Transform these risk and possibility factors into methods for risk-benefit-analysis on a microscopic and macroscopic level, understanding individual risks for driver-system interaction and their consequences for the society in terms of cost/benefits on macro-economics
• Translate these results into a requirements definition for a Code of Practice for development and testing of ADAS. This Code of Practice has to ensure the market introduction of 'reasonable safe' products and the definition of 'duty of care processes.
