SOCIO-ECONOMIC IMPACT ASSESSMENT OF INTELLIGENT VEHICLE SAFETY SYSTEMS IN EUROPE - METHODOLOGY AND APPLICATION WITHIN THE eIMPACT PROJECT

摘要

This paper presents a comprehensive framework for socio-economic impact assessment of Intelligent Vehicle Safety Systems (IVSS). It reflects methodological work performed within the eIMPACT project. The framework applies cost-benefit analysis (CBA) as the most prominent economic assessment tool to prove the profitability of a measure on society level. Since relying on CBA is not sufficient to safeguard the successful IVSS market deployment, CBA is embedded in a wider framework. The overall society perspective is complemented by stakeholder analyses for key interest groups (e.g. system users, OEMs and suppliers, insurance companies and public authorities). The framework is applied to twelve IVSS selected within eIMPACT for a comprehensive socio-economic impact assessment.
