The evaluation framework will define in detail the performance indicators focusing in technical, safety and business related issues and data to be collected for the measurement and/or estimation of the indicator (Task 4.1)

State of the art of LC safety analysis: identification of key safety indicators concerning human errors and violations

Analysis of LC and safety systems taking into account the road and rail user’s perspective and identifying key safety indicators concerning user requirements and human errors, mainly focusing on attentional processes and risk perception (paying special attention to vulnerable users). (Task 2.1)

Proof-of-concept on data acquisition platform for risk evaluation and AID systems

Description of the data acquisition platform for risk evaluation and AID systems. (Task 3.1)

Recommendations for national policy and regulations regarding the LC from the infrastructure point of view

Synthesis of recommendations on technical specifications and human processes, but also on the organizational and legal framework when implementing the proposed solutions, so as to meet the requirements of the latest cooperative standards. (Task 5.3)

Report on communication and warning system

Report on the results of task 3.4 on emerging and existing communication standards to transmit the risk and hazard information detected by Task 3.2 and Task 3.3 at LCs to all concerned road users, road and rail traffic managers. (Task 3.4)
