Status of european project INTERSAFE-2 on cooperative intersection safety

Today most so called `black spots' have been eliminated from the road networks. However, intersections can still be regarded as black spots. Depending on the region and country, from 30% to 60% of all injury accidents and up to one third of the fatalities occur at intersections. This is due mainly to the fact that accident scenarios at intersections are among the most complex ones, since different categories of road user interact in these limited areas with crossing trajectories.
