Safety-related traffic information
25071
The European Commission is revising its rules on Safety-Related Traffic Information to improve how safety alerts are shared in an era of connected vehicles and real-time data. TML is analysing the current market situation and the expected impacts of new policy options.
How can road users across Europe receive timely safety alerts, no matter where they drive? With the rapid evolution of connected cars, sensors, and digital maps, the way we share traffic information is changing fast. But the current European rules on Safety-Related Traffic Information (SRTI), in place since 2013, may no longer reflect this fast-moving reality. That is why the European Commission is revising its regulation, aiming to make safety alerts more accurate, reliable, and widely available.
In this support study, TML, Ramboll, and Traficon are working together to assess what is working, what is missing, and what needs to change. The study examines the roles of different actors, from public authorities and road operators to map providers and car manufacturers, and looks at how new technologies can better contribute to saving lives on the road.
TML is coordinating the study and is specifically responsible for analysing the expected safety effects of different policy options, drawing on experience with safety evaluation and impact assessments. We will also define a baseline scenario and assess how each measure might affect road safety outcomes in the coming years. Our goal is to help ensure that future rules are both realistic and effective, supporting safer roads for all.
