Intelligent Vehicle Safety Systems (IVSS) are expected to make road traffic considerably safer, cleaner and more efficient. Therefore, the European Commission is engage d to support the market deployment and penetration of these systems. A base requirement for such an enhancement strategy is the socio-economic impact assessment of IVSS. The selected case studies for applying cost-benefit appraisals are eCall, Safe Following (ACC) and a com- bined Lane Departure Warning (LDW) and Lane Change Assistance (LCA). The applied appraisal method is cost- benefit analysis. The assessment is carried out on EU-25 basis for the target years 2010 and 2020. The benefits comprise savings of accident costs and accident caused congestion costs. The results show all over benefit-cost results higher than 1, i.e. the benefits exceed the costs. With that, the profitability of the IVSS introduction is proven on society level.
