Subject(s): Abstract: Trafiksäkerheten kommer att öka eftersom bilisterna kommer att ha bättre tillgång till information om regler och lagar i olika europeiska länder, vilket är viktigt eftersom mobiliteten ökar. Även uppföljningen av lagbrott kommer att stödjas av den nya tekniken.Abstract: The project falls under the 7th framework programme of the EU. Its goal is to improve traffic safety by informing the road users about rules and laws that apply in different European countries via an in-vehicle information system, which cooperates with road-side systems. A prototype for such a system will be developed and tested. The focus of the project is on heavy vehicles. Traffic safety will be improved, because the road users will have improved access to information about rules and laws in different European countries, which is important in the days of increasing mobility. The new technique will also allow an improved monitoring of traffic violations.
