| Lane departure warning was found to have potential to prevent 6.1% of crashes involving large trucks included in the LTCCS database. |
The estimates are based on real-world crash data collected in Large Truck Crash Causation Study (LTCCS) which was conducted from 2001 to 2003. The LTCCS study conducted on-scene investigations for real-world crashes and produced a database of 1070 accidents. This data was used to make case by case estimations of the applicability of crash avoidance countermeasures for each crash based on expert knowledge on the analysed systems and their effectiveness in various crash scenarios. |

| A collision mitigation braking system which is able to collect information about the environment around the vehicle, warn the driver, and perform a braking manouvre could have prevented 17.8% of all accidents involving personal injury in the data sample. The corresponding safety potential of a lateral guidance system consisting of lane keeping assistant and lane change assistant was estimated to be up to 7.3%. It was estimated that a car fleet equipped with both lateral guidance and collision mitigation braking system could have avoided up to 25.1% of all accidents included in the data sample. |
The results are based on an in-depth analysis of a sample of 2,025 accidents taken from a database maintained by German Insurers Accident Research (UDV). |

| Lane departure warning systems reduce the number of accidents and accident-related congestion. The impact on the CO2 emissions was estimated to be 0.008% in Europe. |
The impact on the CO2 emissions has been estimated on the basis of safety impact estimates provided by the eIMPACT project and assumptions made by the authors. |

| Intelligent vehicles with automatic cruise control and lane departure warning system reduce the number of accidents by 8% save 3% of fuel. When driving with ACC and LDW, emissions were reduced up to 10%. |
The report is a literature study. The results have been obtained in a Dutch field test. |

| Lane departure warning system was estimated to reduce the number of single vehicle road departure crashes by 17-19 % and the number of rollover crashes by 17-23 % when applied in large trucks (> 10 000 lbs). |
The results are based on a 12 months long field operational test involving 22 trucks. |

| 25% reduction in accident number and 25% reduction of accident severity in head-on collisions. 25% reduction in accident number and 15% reduction of accident severity in left-roadway accidents. 60 % reduction in the number of accidents and a 10 % reduction in accident severity for side collisions. |
Estimates are based on accident statistics assuming a 0.5 sec quicker reaction to lane departure. |
