New ISA FOT in Lancashire

Creation date: 05 March 2010

The project deploys innovative but low-cost in-vehicle speed management systems for Lancashire drivers in the UK. The equipment involves an enhancement to standard satellite navigation systems to provide warnings, visually and auditorily, when drivers are speeding and when they are approaching historical accident spots. The system is turned on upon ignition and is not overridable by the driver. Data are logged at 1 Hz and transmitted back to the data server through the GSM network. The system has been installed in 550 vehicles for a 9-month field trial. A wide range of drivers participate in this FOT, including newly qualified drivers, generic private motorists, taxi drivers, bus drivers, and fleet drivers.

The project is funded by UK Department for Transport and runs from 2009-2011.

More information will soon be available in the FOT-Net wiki.
