Abstract:

Intelligent speed adaptation (ISA) systems are in-vehicle systems that support drivers‘ compliance with the speed limit. These systems have the capability of either warning drivers or limiting them from exceeding a current speed limit. Global Positioning System (GPS) technology is used to adapt speed based on vehicle‘s position on the highway. From research conducted largely in European countries, the implementation of ISA has the potential to significantly reduce the incidence and severity of road trauma. Over the last few years there has been a growing interest in ISA, and the number of ISA research and trials are increasing worldwide. This paper presents the results from a warning system that tested the acceptance and effectiveness of an advisory ISA system in Penang, Malaysia. Statistical analyses were conducted to determine the effectiveness of the system and a questionnaire was used to determine the acceptance of the system. The results show that advisory ISA contributed to a reductions in speed. The questionnaire results revealed a significant acceptance of this system.
