Abstract |
The French rural roads are the field of the project called SARI (automatic management of road status to inform users and road operators). This project ran from 2005 to 2010. It took place in a peculiar background: elevated and specific accidentology of this type of roads, role of infrastructure in the accidents and constrained budget. From these three observations, SARI provided and assessed innovative and low cost solutions to solve problems due to infrastructure and driver behaviour. This paper present the SARI project, especially the chosen approach aiming at 1) learning about the behaviour of drivers and their vehicles conditioned by the difficulties of the road, 2) defining ways to identify and characterize these difficulties (observatories of trajectories, vehicles and methods of diagnosis), 3) providing new information and guidance systems warning drivers about the danger of their driving situation. The efficiency of information and guidance systems was assessed by in situ experiments. The chosen example shows the collaboration between technical workpackages and the workgroup in charge of studying the acceptabilities of the technical solutions. |
