European Commission
In September 2001, the European Commission released its White Paper “European Transport Policy for 2010: Time to Decide” and set the target of 50% reduction in road fatalities by 2010.
Independently, key stakeholders were already active in developing and implementing the necessary technologies, but the coordination of these efforts was seen as a means to help ensure attainment of this ambitious target.
Therefore, an eSafety (iMobility) Working Group established in 2002 by the Commission, automotive industry and other stakeholders proposed 28 recommendations which give guidelines to accelerate the research, development, deployment and use of Intelligent Integrated Safety Systems — eSafety technologies.
