Overview
Background & policy context:
The European Commission wanted an update of estimates of the costs and benefits of mandatory use of daytime running lights on cars in the European Union (EU-15).
Objectives:
The objective of the project was to provide updated estimates of the effects of daytime running lights.
Methodology:
The project comprised a systematic review of current knowledge regarding the safety effects of daytime running lights (DRL). This included a meta-analysis of 25 studies that have evaluated DRL for cars and 16 studies that have evaluated DRL for motorcycles, and also a cost-benefit analysis of five policy options for the use of DRL in the European Union.
