PREVENTION AND MANAGEMENT OF GHOST DRIVER INCIDENTS ON MOTORWAYS -THE FRENCH EXPERIENCE THE CONTRIBUTION OF ITS TO IMMEDIATE DETECTION AND OPTIMUM MANAGEMENT OF GHOST DRIVER INCIDENTS

摘要

Ghost driver incidents are aa concern for French motorway companies. The accidents generated, of the frontal collision type, are an anxiety-producing phenomenon for the public. Ghost driver incidents are often deliberate violations. They are performed by eelderly lderly drivers who have lost their marks and are not familiar with motorway infrastructure or its rules of use or results from behaviour incompatible with driving (alcohol, drugs). Motorway operators have undertaken the prevention and management of this hhazard azard (geometry, signalling). They are effective but insufficient. The eradication of the phenomenon can only be considered with the development of embedded systems and ITS applications.
