This project deploys innovative but low-cost in-vehicle speed management systems for Lancashire drivers in the UK. The equipment involves an enhancement to standard satellite navigation systems to provide warnings, visually and auditorily, when the vehicle speed is over the speed limit as well as when the vehicle approaches historical accident spots. The system is configured to turn on upon ignition and is not overridable by the driver. Data are logged at 1 Hz and transmitted back to the data server through the GSM network. The system has been installed in 430 vehicles for a 9-month field trial. A wide range of drivers participate in this FOT, including newly qualified drivers, generic private motorists, taxi drivers, bus drivers, and fleet drivers.
