It was estimated that variable speed limit signs and lane control signals installed on the autobahn in Germany would generate cost savings due to crash reductions that would be equal to the cost of the system within two to three years of deployment. (August 1999)
In Sweden, test drivers of a prototype system indicated that the intelligent speed adaptation feature was well received.(August 1999)
Advanced traffic management systems in Amsterdam and Germany reduced crash rates by 20 to 23 percent.(August 1999)
In European cities, advanced parking information systems have reduced traffic volumes related to parking space searches up to 25 percent.(August 1999)
Automated speed enforcement in England has increased capacity by 5 to 10 percent. (August 1999)
