The European Union has made a number of safety systems mandatory for new cars from 2022. A number of car manufacturers already supply some of these systems as options, soon this will be standard.

The European Union sets requirements for the safety of new-delivered cars from 2022. In this they seek to pass local authorities. The required requirements apply to the standard creation of a number of ADAS facilities. ADAS stands for Advanced Drivers Assistance Systems, which is a collective name for driver.


Stated ADAS Requirements

A distinction is made in rijassistentie and safety systems
Some rijassistenten that are obligatory from 2022 are:

  • Fatigue and smartphone use-warning systems
  • Roadway support (Lane departure)
  • Parking sensors
  • Emergency brake System
  • Intelligent Speed Limiter

Safety systems covered by the ADAS facilities:

  • Windscreen with safety glass to protect weak road users in case of collisions
  • Improved seat belts
  • Preparations for an alcohol lock

 

Reducing traffic casualties

These tightening requirements stem from the increasing traffic congestion and the associated traffic casualties. Research shows that 90% of all accidents are redirected to human error. In Europe, 25,000 people die every year as a result of a traffic accident. By requiring a few driver, the number of road accident victims must be reduced significantly within 15 years.

 

What can you do now?

As a motorist, you can reduce your own phone use in traffic so that you have more focus behind the handlebars. If you also have a fleet in management, you can ensure that your colleagues also behave more consciously in traffic.

With fleet management software you get insight into different data of all vehicles in your fleet. Besides practical information such as maintenance intervals and a journey registration, it is also possible to gain insight in the road safety of your employees.

Consider:

  • Driving
  • Speed violations;
  • Fuel consumption;
  • Live location of vehicles.

Save on costs

Thanks to this information it is easy to identify how your vehicles are dealt with in traffic. In addition, the use of a reliable fleet management system can save on operating costs.

A fleet management system is built into most vehicles and is already profitable from a vehicle fleet from two vehicles. Inform directly about what Fleetassist can do for your organisation!
