eSafety effects database launched

Creation date: 25 July 2006

With the launch of the new online eSafety effects database, all you ever wanted to know about the benefits of eSafety systems is only a mouse click away.

Produced by eSafetySupport Partner VTT on behalf of the European Commission, the database gives a comprehensive overview of the research reports, articles and papers produced on the effects of the various eSafety applications available on the market. The focus is on the systems’ safety effects and all main results are listed, linking to the actual reports and papers when available.

The main purpose of the database is to encourage a faster roll-out of eSafety systems. Stakeholders have proved reluctant to commit themselves to encouraging a faster and broader market introduction of such systems in the past due to insufficient evidence of the systems’ benefits. By providing a one-stop shop on all the research available on each type of eSafety application, the new database aims to address this problem.

The database is continuously being improved and updated, and stakeholders are encouraged to send research findings, reports, etc to the Webmaster Risto Öörni. An URL or electronic version of the report and a permit to make the electronic version available on the Internet is needed.
