This special session focussed on the methodology, concept, approaches and intermediate results of the INTERSAFE-2 project and the impact potentials on traffic safety.

The aim was to address experts and stakeholders which are interested in or dealing with the topic of Intersection Safety. Not only presentations from the project consortium were given but also external ones combined with discussions between experts and stakeholders in this field and the ITS sector.

The first part was an introduction with presentation of the INTERSAFE-2 consortium in order to introduce the topic and intermediate satus of Cooperative Intersection Safety and open the room for following discussions.

The second part was an open discussion/forum in order to gain feedback on the INTERSAFE-2 activities and also to get insight into the different requirements and expectations of various stakeholders which are interested in or dealing with the topic of Intersection Safety.

The overall aim of this special session was on the one hand to introduce the ideas and intermediate results of the INTERSAFE-2 project and on the other hand to work out strategies together with all the different experts that are present at the ITSC 2010 on future joint activities and possible deployment of such Cooperative Intersection Safety Systems. The different views of the experts and stakeholders are of high interest and importance to the INTERSAFE-2 consortium as well as to the European Commission in order to gain future ideas on the introduction of such Intersection Safety Systems into the market.
