  • Car drivers intelligent transportation systems [Elektronski vir] : self reported use and attitudes
    Polič, Marko, 1946- ; Britschgi, Virpi ; Forward, Sonja
    The concept of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) covers the collection of systems and subsystems for solving increasing problems in traffic, from traffic density to safety, providing drivers ... with time, situation, and location dependent information, warnings and physically intervening with the vehicle control in critical situations. In this paper - representing a part of the SARTRE 4 project - we are reporting car drivers attitudes toward certain ITS and self-reported use of them, based on a representative sample of 12,507 car drivers from 19 countries. While certain ITS systems are widely used (e.g. ABS, seat belt reminders), others are hardly used (e.g. fatigue detection and warning, electronic tag), depending on their novelty, legislation demands, etc. Also slight support for risk homeostasis theory is evident. Though the majority of drivers have positive attitudes toward ITS devices, there are country, gender, age and profession differences depending on device. Differences between SARTRE 3 and 4 regarding ITS are presented.
