Implementation Road Map for In-Vehicle Safety Systems in China

A major side effect of the economic boom in China is a high number of traffic accidents. Besides traditional measures, such as legislation, regulation, education, and road infrastructure, road safety can be improved through the implementation of in-vehicle driving assistance systems as part of intelligent transportation systems. In this study, the traffic and transport situation and trends in China are analyzed, and the need for improving traffic safety through in-vehicle systems is addressed. Furthermore, potential solutions for enhancing road traffic safety by using in-vehicle driving assistance systems are investigated, and the implementation of such systems is priority-ranked by using a mathematical approach, gray relational analysis. In addition, a road map for the implementation of safety-oriented in-vehicle systems in China is proposed and discussed.
