Selected issues of research on the impact of intelligent transport systems on road safety with the use of driving simulators

Abstract

The article describes the impact of information displayed to drivers on boards with variable content and presented on the static table, on drivers' decisions regarding the selection of an alternative route. The results of the research obtained in the RID 4D project titled "Impact of the use of Intelligent Transport Systems services on the level of road safety" financed by the National Center for Research and Development and the General Directorate of National Roads and Motorways (DZP/RID-I-41/7/NCBR / 2016 agreement). The article describes an attempt to assess the economic effects of implementing selected ITS solutions. Based on the impact of selected ITS solutions on the speed of driving, an assessment was made of the increase of safety on the road, using as a measure the number of people killed, severely and slightly injured. The whole article is summarized by conclusions.
