In Europe, a considerable amount of lives lost in traffic accidents is due to inappropriate vehiclespeed or inappropriate headway. Excessive speed is acknowledged as one of the major causes ofaccidents being responsible for about one-third of crashes, and contributing to the death of around1.200 people each year and more than 100.000 injuries. In addition, rear-end and chain accidents,which are mainly caused by inappropriate headways, altogether account for another 15% of all roadaccidents. In order to improve driving safety it is therefore of great importance to develop anintelligent system that helps the driver in reducing risky and dangerous situations related to theaforementioned factors.

Abstract
In Europe, a considerable amount of lives lost in traffic accidents is due to inappropriate vehiclespeed or inappropriate headway. Excessive speed is acknowledged as one of the major causes ofaccidents being responsible for about one-third of crashes, and contributing to the death of around1.200 people each year and more than 100.000 injuries. In addition, rear-end and chain accidents,which are mainly caused by inappropriate headways, altogether account for another 15% of all roadaccidents. In order to improve driving safety it is therefore of great importance to develop anintelligent system that helps the driver in reducing risky and dangerous situations related to theaforementioned factors. Such a system is the goal of the SAPENCE Project (part of IP PREVENT).The safety gains that are expected from systems capable to appropriately warn the driver in case ofexcessive speed and small headway look very promising.
