Question 16785 — road safety

Summary

Mr. Sébastien Saint-Pasteur draws the attention of the Minister of Transport to the development of driver assistance systems in terms of intelligent speed limitation and to the prospects for improving the European regulation relating to ISA (Intelligent Speed ​​Assistance). A resident of his constituency drew his attention to the growing difficulties encountered by motorists to drive safely, particularly in large cities and their outskirts. The proliferation of variable speed limits, urban developments, signage that is sometimes dense and difficult to read, as well as cohabitation with many vulnerable users (electric bikes, scooters, scooters, etc.) generate a significant mental load and increase the risk of human error. In the same time, on-board technologies already allow real-time knowledge of applicable speed limits. Since July 2022 for new models and July 2024 for all new vehicles, a European regulation has required an intelligent speed adaptation system (AIV/ISA) including an information and warning function. This resident suggests going further by gradually imposing on builders a system automatically preventing exceeding authorized speeds, with automatic adaptation via GPS and digital signaling, and by limiting the maximum speed of vehicles marketed for common road use. This approach would favor technological prevention rather than sanctions and physical arrangements. The deputy wonders about the follow-up that the Government intends to give to this proposal. He him asks what its intentions are regarding national legislative or regulatory developments towards a more restrictive intelligent speed limiter, with an active regulation function rather than a simple warning. He also asks how such a system could, in the event of temporary signs or works, guarantee optimal safety and reliability without creating new risks, if France is prepared to carry out, at European level, an ambitious evolution of the ISA regulation in order to strengthen the requirements in terms of active speed regulation and overall reliability of the system, and finally, if the Government plans to support a road safety policy which favors technological prevention integrated into vehicles in order to reduce accidents, lighten the mental load of drivers and simplify the controls.
