This presentation answers questions such as Why absorbing masts reduce injuries? What are the records and experience? How should this be applied in road projects? It addresses accident types and what happens during impact. The use and absorbing masts today and experience after 10 years of use will be discussed. And finally how to get the most from this technology and present and future areas of use will be covered.

This presentation will focus on the future deliverables of the IRF Policy Committee on ITS. The mission of the committee is to foster the deployment of ITS by supporting the development of national and regional ITS strategies and by encouraging governments to integrate ITS as a major tool to achieve their transport policy objectives. The deliverables of the committee will include, inter alia, creating a library of ITS strategies on city, regional and country level; collecting data of current deployment of ITS applications from the users’ point of view; and identifying legal measures required to enable the implementation of ITS.

In autonomous EFC systems the OBE determines the amount to be paid to the toll charger. Whether the OBE can be trusted is therefore paramount, however current international standards do not prescribe a specific security architecture. We present a solution in terms of a Trusted Element inside the OBE.

This presentation addresses the first results of the mobility projects in the urban regions Rotterdam, Arnhem-Nijmegen and Haaglanden. Based on price incentives the projects try to decrease the number of car kilometres in rush hours, make motorists and employers more aware of possible options (telecommuting, public transport, earlier/later working hours) and assess motorist behaviour. The goal of the pilots was to have a real and lasting effect on travel behaviour and to improve accessibility in the Rotterdam, Arnhem-Nijmegen and Haaglanden regions.

In the spring of 2010 the metropolitan region Amsterdam will start a pilot called 'Paid Driving' in order to improve the accessibility of the region of Amsterdam. In a GPS-based system participants will pay for every kilometre driven on weekdays. The participants receive a monthly amount for this. In addition, the major roads to and from Amsterdam are subject to a rush hour surcharge. The trial is set up for 10,000 volunteers and is being conducted in phases. Organised by: Dutch Ministry of Transport, Public Works and Watermanagement and the City of Amsterdam

Superior road marking will increase the level of road safety. Irrespective of darkness or rain, the visual guidance provided by the retroflecting properties of the road markings is vital for the road user. This presention describes both the method and quality of the results of a new road marking tester, a new mobile control technology.

The Navtech Radar ClearWay™ system provides automatic detection of incidents, including stopped vehicles, pedestrians and debris. It uses high frequency radar to scan the whole road surface both up and down stream, combined with sophisticated tracking software. A single radar can cover several hundred meters of road surface, it is unaffected by adverse weather conditions including fog or bright sunlight.  ClearWay is suitable for use above ground or in tunnels, across multilane highways or for Hard Shoulder monitoring.

Around the cities of ‘s-Hertogenbosch and Eindhoven, 3.000 volunteers will participate in a large Field Operational Test (FOT). Driving in the rush-hour is being priced (tolling) through a GPS system. This GPS-tolling system makes driving in the rush hour more expensive. This way the regional and national gouvernments want to learn how pricing affect travel behaviour of car-users.
