Requi­re­ments for dri­vers

The majority of accidents on German roads are caused by car drivers. The main causes of serious accidents are inattention or lack of abilities of drivers, too small distances between the own vehicle and vehicle ahead and inappropriate speeds. Especially in complex situations, at junctions, in bends and during overtaking manoeuvres, serious accidents occur again and again. A mistake-forgiving infrastructure, more consideration for other road users and of driver assistance systems can help to prevent serious accidents.

Tired­ness and level 3 –auto­ma­ted dri­ving

The aim of the study, which was initia­ted from the UDV (Ger­man Insu­rers Acci­dent Rese­arch), was to esti­mate the time taken by tired dri­vers to safely ass­ume con­trol of a vehicle after a level 3 drive and long dri­ving times.

Auto­ma­ted vehic­les in which the dri­ver can allow the vehicle to do all the work on cer­tain parts of the trip and no lon­ger has to moni­tor any­thing are currently being deve­lo­ped by many auto­mo­tive manu­fac­tur­ers.
