Regional eSafety observers met on 22 April in Slovenia

Creation date: 23 April 2008

Key road safety players from Slovenia met on 22 April 2008 to discuss actions regarding how intelligent safety systems for cars (eSafety systems) can help reduce the number of fatalities and injuries on Europe’s roads.

Organised by the eSafety Support project and with the support of the Slovenian ITS Association , the Regional Observers meeting aimed to review how eSafety players in Slovenia can cooperate and share experiences to increase awareness of eSafety systems such as emergency call (eCall).

With over 15 participants from Slovenia the meeting featured presentations by the European Commission and national eSafety Support experts, providing a useful summary of the eSafety initiative and its achievements to date at both the European and national levels. Topics to be discussed include enforcement, emergency assistance, RDS-TMC and traffic information, and eCall. The eSafety initiative, launched in 2002, is dedicated to halving the number of road deaths in Europe by 2010 through the development and deployment of eSafety systems.
