eSafety Support - Supporting the European effort on eSafety and sustaining the work of the eSafety Forum activities
Overview
Background & policy context:
eSafety was a joint industry-public sector initiative driven by the European Commission and co-chaired by ERTICO - ITS Europe and ACEA (Association of European Car Manufacturers), with the aim to promote the development, deployment, and use of Intelligent Vehicle Safety Systems to enhance road safety throughout Europe. Sustainable solutions can only be created together with all stakeholders on the European level.
eSafety Support stimulated and monitored the activities, progress and results generated by the eSafety initiative by offering support to the eSafety Forum and its Working Groups and disseminating results to all stakeholders.
eSafety Support devised and maintained a system for monitoring the progress on each of the 28 eSafety priority recommendations through close cooperation with the eSafety Forum Working Groups, R&D projects and other contributing activities. eSafety Support is responsible for building a knowledge base and providing a synthetic overview and executive 'state-of-work' in key thematic areas covered by the eSafety initiative.
Objectives:
The project aimed to:
1. Support the development, deployment and use of intelligent integrated road safety systems by strengthening the eSafety cooperation and promoting the benefits to the end users.
2. Support the dialogue between all eSafety stakeholders through organising dedicated events and promote public outreach through targeted activities.
- Monitor and promote the implementation of the eSafety Working Group recommendations and dissemination of results through the website and through other dissemination material.
- Support the implementation process for a European eCall system by promoting the eCall toolbox.
- Support the development of the implementation Road Map for all eSafety systems by using the previous work as foundation.
- Organise eSafety stakeholder meetings (workshops, plenary, high level, and steering group meetings), provide administrative support to the eSafety Forum activities through an independent eSafety Support Secretariat in Brussels, and actively participate in relevant external eSafety events.
- Launch minor studies on topics identified and endorsed by the eSafety Forum.
- Support the i2010 initiative in particular the activities dealing with user outreach and deployment of smarter, safer and cleaner vehicles in the future.
