EIT Urban Mobility launched ISA-FIT, an Intelligent Speed Assistance retrofit solution
Funded by EIT Urban Mobility, ISA FIT is a progressive new initiative focused on road safety enhancement that officially kicked off on Tuesday, 10 May 2022.
POLIS, CTAG - Automotive Technology Center of Galicia, the City of Helmond, Eindhoven University of Technology, Tractebel Engineering, TN-ITS, and V-Tron are the partners responsible for the final on-site testing, results, and communication to make the project enforced by 2025.
Preventing speeding is one of the most effective ways to reduce traffic crashes, both in numbers and severity. Reducing the speed limits, particularly in urban areas, is a necessary step - but that measure is not enough by itself: infrastructure and vehicles matter, too.
Intelligent Speed Assistance (ISA) is one such measure and a promising one. The technology is available and its installation in all new vehicles has become mandatory in the EU, but practical questions remain. Project ISA FIT will deal with at least two of these, namely how to retrofit existing vehicles and how can we deploy such a system; of course, we cannot wait 20 years for the full renovation of the current fleets and we must promptly address all the practicalities of deploying ISA, especially from the side of the local and regional authorities in charge of the infrastructure.
