 The pros and cons of Intelligent Speed Adaptation as a restrictive measure for serious speed offendersJ.W.G.M. van der Pas, J. Kessels, S.H. Vlassenroot and B. van Wee Transportation Research Part A: Policy and Practice, 2014, vol. 67, issue C, 158-174 Abstract: In 2011 in the Netherlands a field operational test was performed to investigate the possibility of using restrictive Intelligent Speed Adaptation (ISA) as a penalty system for serious speed offenders. This paper presents the overall results of the research focusing on the pros and cons of the use of ISA as a restrictive measure for serious speed offenders, and on the preconditions for deployment. The results showed that the ISA systems tested have a huge effect on driver behavior and have the potential to improve road safety by reducing the level of speeding, mean speed, as well as the standard deviation of speed. However, there are also cons: the behavioral change in driving behavior was only temporary. In addition the tested technology proved too easy to override, raised issues of equity, and a substantial back office is required when implementing the system for serious speed offenders.
